The article forecasts that Australia's beef production is expected to reach the third highest level on record in 2025, due to high female slaughter rates and increased feedlot production, leading to heavier slaughter weights. Additionally, beef exports are projected to hit a new high of 1.95 million tons, marking a 2.5% increase from 2024. The recovery of the US cattle herd is anticipated to boost demand for Australian beef, contributing to the rise in exports.
