Live cattle export price hits record high as WA pastoralists celebrate best wet season in years
As the live export season ramps up in the north of Western Australia, record prices are being fetched by pastoralists sending cattle to Indonesia.
Key points:
- Live export cattle prices have hit an all time high for WA pastoralists
- A shipment of 3,000 head of cattle is set to leave Broome Port
- Record prices come off the back of the best wet season in years
For the first time, cattle producers are getting as much as $4.10 per kilo for feeder steers being loaded on the first major shipment from Broome Port, more than double what they were fetching a decade ago.
Northern Rural Supplies Broome principal agent Andrew Stewart said record prices come off the back of the best wet season in three years.
