[QUOTE="Australian Cattleman, post: 338699, member: 285"] Cattle buyers hold cattle producers to ransom in our country. There is so much variability in prices received from one selling centre to another,We have our local yards about 10 kilometres away,another 70 ks away another two about 110 ks away. All of these vary so much. A man that does our carrying for us purchased cattle at our local yards and resold them two days later at Warwick,Queensland and made an average of $160 a head on them. The cost was a bit of fuel and a couple of bales of hay. Cows and calves down south of our state can make $1100 to $1200 in our area you are doing well to get $950. Same quality etc etc. Getting back to the weather side of things. Rain rain and more rain in storms in the central part of our state and on the south coast of our state. 12+ inches in downpours,washed countless numbers of sheep and cattle away as well as fences. These storms have also caused lightning strikes resulting in bushfires. Talking to a friend of mine form the Atherton Tableand in far north Queensland a couple of days ago,he received 22 inches in a couple days about a week ago. A man down the road recieved 20 inches in 20 hours. Grass is so high that he has to slash it to keep it under control.Colin [/QUOTE]
