Tridge summary

The article discusses the dynamics of the bovine stock in the financial year 2022/23, highlighting a significant decrease in slaughter and a notable increase in the spring calving rate. Despite a severe drop in slaughter, expected to reach around 2.2 million heads, and a potential rise in mortality due to drought, the herd is anticipated to recover and grow to approximately 11.7-11.8 million heads, an increase of about 200,000 from the previous year. However, future calving in spring 2023 is likely to see a decrease due to the drought, which could lead to a decline in weaned animals to around 2.6 million heads, potentially disrupting the sustainability of the growing herding trend.
