I received a phone call from a friend of mine, Bill, at quite an odd hour yesterday morning, and thought 'this isn’t good news'... He is based in Alpha in Western QLD and it has been incredibly dry out there, so I was very quietly expecting the w...

I thought this week I would start with a bit of a joke. A Texan farmer came to Australia for a holiday. He met an Aussie farmer and they started talking. The Aussie showed off his big wheat field and the Texan said, “Oh! We have wheat fields that...

We seem to be getting the warmer temps more consistently now, which is good news for this bloke in terms of trying to forecast again. When you get the highs and lows in temp and humidity it all has a impact on what you decide to eat. We saw chick...
November 24 2015
This week sees us with a really strong hand of summer products. Even though we continue to face the hardest stock positions in recent memory, not only on beef, but now also with pork at record highs, we somehow pull a freak week out of the hat.
T...

This is a really big lamb week. The price and quality is incredible. Racks of spring lamb, 8 ribbers, beautiful colour and cover of fat - and the best thing I reckon is when you cut them into cutlets and BBQ to medium. That’s it. Spring lamb at i...

October 13 2015
With the beef price still on the rise and with the dollar 30% lower than the same period, it continues to be a classic case of supply and demand with so much of our stock going overseas driving these crazy prices. However, with plenty of feed sti...
October 06 2015
It is quite an obscure week we have ahead of us, beef prices continue to rise meaning it is getting really difficult to buy the sort of product we want, and it is probably only going to get harder through October. It’s not ideal, but that is the ...
