Sirma Karapeeva:

The chief executive of the Meat Industry Association looks back on another strong month for New Zealand red meat exports, where prices are up, volumes are down, the farmers are making money, but the meat processors aren’t.

John McOviney:

Waitomo sheep and beef farmer (and Steelfort chief executive) reflects on some great prices for weaner calves and store lambs.
