Gertrude, did you actually read the ABARE document, for which I
provided a link?

Did you read that in 2004-05-06 the live trade was only 7% by
volume and 5% by value. So 93% slaughtered in Australia.

Did you note the graphs, showing that Malaysia and Philippines
import most of their beef from India?

Did you note the map, showing that less then 5% of Queensland
cattle go live export and the numbers have been declining,
in contrast to the Kimberly region of WA and NT, which depend on
live exports?

Did you note that around 50'000 of the total live export figures
were actually dairy cows for China and Mexico?

So much for your claims about the Queensland cattle industry.

(Funny my dad used to call me that). In answer to your question no I must be honest I did not read it. Not to be arrogant just busy. I leared long ago not to take much notice of some reports.

However just for you I will read it later. I have been around industry enough up here in QLD to tell you honestly we have plants closed on and off quite regually due to lack of supply.

It all depends where one does the reading.

I am very away of the abattoirs being built ie mentioned above and whats on the agenda. A bit of quite reading>

*I was actually referring to beef. I am in QLD and we export most of our Animals Live.*

The thing is Gertrude, that was your quote and its clearly rubbish.

You seem so bogged down with your Jakims and Muslim leaders, that
you don't even seem to be taking any notice of the fundamentals
and figures.

Yes they might all have their agendas, that does not mean that things
will turn out that way. Lots of people have agendas which never happen.

It is the responsibility of ABARE to analyse agricultural production
figures and to make predictions etc. Are you claiming that their
figures are wrong? Their predictions might be flawed, but then that
is common. That is also different to the basic data that they collect.

So I deal with facts as they are and as we can see from the ABARE
data, around 93% of cattle are processed in Australian, even higher
in Queensland.

Yes, some cattle are exported from the Kimberly and NT, to Indonesia,
where they go into feedlots. Most of those cattle are consumed by
Indonesians, they are not re exported. 200 million Indonesians have
an appetite for meat too, even if its more expensive for them, then
for Australians. But it is only a very small % of Australia’s production.

Has everyone noticed that the Tasman Group in Tasmania has been bought by some huge Brazilian concern? I think they bought some plants in Victoria as well, but not sure about that. Cattle are being exported from Tasmania as well out of Victoria but they are dairy cattle for China and Mexico mostly.

When I get the time I will sit down and write in as much detail as space allows what is being arranged right now.

It was always planned for this to happen just not the slaughtering part to take place outside Australia.

I posted a little on this above.

Sorry thats the best I can do. In the mean time you could read some of the site if you have time. Please note we are no longer there at our request.

Some of it you need to be a member and I forgot about that in my last post.

When I get time I will go in a post the bits covering our recent posts to each other.

I dont think I would be popular If I posted pass words butI wont rule it out either.

Not happy Jan .... as they say

Oh sorry I forgot no humour allowed:)

OK. Now where were we...

"Ginx
Firstly, it is hard to respond to your comment ‘used to be cheap’ as I have no idea of when you are referring to." (Quote:Rectum)

I will explain s-l-o-w-l-y so you will understand;.....both of you.

You ask about meat prices/value for money. I replied. In English. I do not think they are. I give examples. You respond with the above sarcasm and then go into detail of the relative economic value/imports/blah blah blah!!

You are a fella right? Because no woman who is trying to balance a budget would have responded in that manner.

I responded as a household budgeter would. Everything I said was true. You are into justification. I am referring to purchase PRICE. 'PRICES/MONEY' THOSE are the words in your thread title.

Seafood extender? Only those who know little about food and nutrition would dane to eat such rubbish.
