Buckshot Bear Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Cattle prices may have crashed, but the drovers keep on moving in outback Queensland Dust fills a cloudless blue sky as 2,000 head of cattle slowly move down a narrow dirt road in outback Queensland. Drovers on horseback gently walk alongside and behind the herd, and working dogs help to keep the cows moving in the right direction. The quiet outback scene is interrupted only by the shuffle of hooves on black soil, a message over the two-way, or an occasional whistle to the working dogs. It's a scene you'd expect to see in an old western movie, but this is modern cattle droving. https://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2023-10-03/drovers-take-to-stock-routes-el-nino-causes-cattle-price-crash/102896370 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 All prices are on the rise here. I haven’t had a decent steak in a long time. I refuse to pay the prices stores are charging. I have decided that when I grow up I want to move to Australia and be a cattle drover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still hand Bill Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Luckily several in my wife’s family raise cattle. Get part of a cow each year. Prime meat for less than prime prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
