🎙️ Hung the mic up and gone walkabout...

I’ve hung the mic up and drafted myself out for a couple of weeks—taking a breather before heading back into the yards.

Apologies if it’s a bit quiet here—just stepping out of the crush to reset and recharge. I’ll be back soon with fresh episodes, market updates, and more stories from across the north.

Thanks for your patience and support!

📈 Combined Agents Bull Sale Wrap – from Ashley Naclerio

"The Combined Agents Bull Sale was once again really well supported—especially on the bull side. We had strong representation from the north with standout drafts from Barronessa, Woonallee Simmentals, the Charolais studs, a couple of Brahmans, and the Droughtmasters Studs as well.

We saw a 100% clearance and an average of $8,600, which is a solid lift on last year."

"I think in terms of an opportunity, it's certainly the season in front of you guys at the minute and generally across the North, particularly Queensland.

There will be opportunity to trade cattle in 2025, even if you are a breeder, simply because of the seasonal conditions and what that allows.

I think that's quite positive, generate, a different revenue stream, if you will.

In terms of red flags, my worry continues to be China sneezing and Australia catching a cold.

And what I mean by that is implications of tariffs on the Chinese economy can affect demand both from China and other countries who trade with China and Australia for our product.

And that could have implications for the boxed market, not necessarily Indo specific, but certainly the box market.

And then as I've mentioned before, keep an eye on that Indonesian Rupee or exchange rate with the US dollar. I think that's important for the live export space and just seeing where that tracks."

Day 1 Wrap-Up – World Angus Forum 2025

Day 1 at the 2025 Neogen World Angus Forum in Brisbane is in the books—and it set the tone for a powerful week ahead.

John Eales opened the forum with a keynote that hit home for many in the crowd—on leadership, legacy, and the values that build strong teams and strong businesses. His message was clear: resilience, humility, and consistency win in the long game.

Another standout was the Certified Angus Beef (CAB) story—a global branding success that showcased the power of quality assurance, data-backed standards, and clear messaging. A valuable reminder of what’s possible when a brand stands for something producers and consumers can trust.

Plenty of takeaways already for producers in the north—from branding to breeding, and everything in between.

Bring on Day 2.
