2nd madcow found in usa FWIW this should greatly assist and underpin Australian beef exports to Japan for several years.

American interests had threatened to largely steal this huge market after buying much of the wholesale and distribution chain in Japan and moving to give preference to imports from the States.

Feedlotting locally is currently at very high levels for the export market, I believe at levels exceeding 920,00 cattle. Suppliers of stockfeeds ( Ridley RIC ?) and rural consumable products (AWB subsidary Landmark ? ) may benefit.
