The Australian cattle industry is a significant sector of the country's agricultural economy, primarily focused on beef production. Australia is one of the world's largest exporters of beef, with major markets in countries like Japan, South Korea, and the United States. The industry is characterized by extensive grazing systems, where cattle are raised on vast pastures across regions such as Queensland and New South Wales. Cattle farming in Australia includes both commercial and family-owned operations, with a focus on sustainable practices. The industry also faces challenges such as climate change, market fluctuations, and animal welfare concerns. Innovations in breeding and farming techniques aim to improve productivity and environmental impact.
