In this edition we highlight the hard work of Beef CRC researchers across Australia. Some of this work aimed at improving the profitability and productivity of Australia’s beef industry was only recently recognised with a national award for excellence. The north Australian cattle muster is also under the Beef Bulletin spotlight with research to revolutionise northern herd management. The solution? A single calf drop, timed to perfection, matched to environmental or production cycles, year after year, all achievable with the use of smart genetics. With grain finishing quickly becoming the norm across the Australian supply chain and with little respite from high grain prices on the horizon what can be done to make more beef using less feed? Beef CRC researchers have an answer in sight following their discovery of more than 100 DNA markers linked to feed efficiency, one of the most crucial factors of lot feeding. The pages of the Winter Beef Bulletin will also take you to an idyllic spot between the renowned Australian wine regions of Padthaway and Coonawarra in South Australia.
