Childhood indoctrination

Ummm two thirds= 66%

If two thirds of cattle in Australia are fed solely on pasture, then feedlot utilisation should be 33%, not 67% as stated by MLA. I can't tell if your problem is reading comprehension or mathematics, or perhaps you deliberately misread facts to suit yourself.

Perhaps your insults are an indication that you don't have an argument?

Perhaps you are talking around in circles and perhaps you have no idea other than what you are force-fed regarding the cattle industry here in Australia? Perhaps I did read the article wrong but as I inferred, that article is nearly three years old and could be inaccurate.

And I am to understand that all our cattle go to fed-lot prior to transport not just the paltry 67% mentioned as most farms are no where near any of the country's abattoirs.

And yes I am rather ignorant of the whole cattle industry here in Australia but I fail to see how joining a religion that seems determined to kill off a part of our population and that insists that feral animals are a much better solution than our native ones is one that I would want to subscribe to.

The Australian Lot Feeders' Association (ALFA) and MLA conduct a quarterly lotfeeding survey to monitor trends in the lotfeeding sector.

Key findings from the survey included:

The number of cattle on feed during the March quarter increased 6% year-on-year and 1% on the December quarter, to 799,034 head.
Cattle turnoff in the first quarter of 2013 increased 4% year-on-year, to 615,362 head, with Victoria and SA registering declines, while the remaining states recorded an increase. Feedlot utilisation levels also rose from the corresponding period in 2012, to average 67% nationally.
Australian grainfed beef exports to Japan fell slightly during the March quarter, down 2% from year ago volumes, to 28,105 tonnes swt.
Over the March quarter feed grain prices increased significantly, with barley ($A285/tonne), sorghum (A$258/tonnes) and wheat ($A282/tonne) prices in the Darling Downs up 52%, 48% and 45% respectively, year-on-year.

Why do you want to eat sorghum, Barley and Wheat grains?
