And what is a tropical breed?

 

[Australian Cattleman]

to answer a couple of questions posed.

Currently the rate is 76 cents of our money for every one of your US dollars.
A tropical breed is any breed like,Brahman,Santa Gertrudis,Braford,Belmonts,Africanders,Red Sindhi,Sahiwal,Brangus,Greyman,Charbray,Brahmousin etc.
Hope this helps those that are wondering about our different terminologies from down under.
