Australian beef competes with other meats and with the beef from other countries for market share. Supplying beef cuts and carcases that meet the individual market specifications of our domestic and international customers is crucial in ensuring that australia remains competitive in the international marketplace.
Meeting market specifications is also important in determining the profitability of beef-producing enterprises. End-users of stock, including feedlots and beef processors, pay premiums for even lines of cattle that fit specifications, and they discount those that do not.
A thorough understanding of the specifications for different markets enables producers to match their properties, seasonal conditions and stock to the requirements of their target markets. Regardless of the chosen market, an ability to consistently supply suitable stock benefits both the producer and the consumer.
