fundamental commodity necessary to survive.

Making
your Choice
In
Australia, the biggest industry is in agriculture in terms of production and
revenue and employment generation. You
can either go into plant farming or raising cattle for sale domestically or
export. Vegetable and Fruit farming is
more challenging because it could go wrong in so many ways such as invasion of
pests, inadequate rainfall, choice of fertilizers and the like. Raising
cattle for sale on the other hand requires less maintenance although bovines
are susceptible several kinds of diseases and are also affected by the amount
of rainfall – less rain, less grass. Nonetheless, these challenges are
relatively simple to deal with.
Raising
cattle for sale in the food industry or for livestock proliferation requires an
ample amount of grass land. A regular
cow consumes about 100 kilograms of plant matter each day. Wide open spaces are a requirement as these
domesticated animals love the peace and quiet. Their growth is also affected by
their state of mind. A stressed cow is
unable to sleep and a contented cow sleeps well for a total of two hours of
about 10 minutes each in wide intervals.
Breed
Choices from North to South
The
choice of breed depends on the location of the farm and the kind of meat you’d
want to sell. Beef quality is determines
by the size of cuts and the marbling of the beef. When choosing a breed, look
for available cattle for sale in farms adjacent to yours. Cattle farms are divided into two farming
systems - Northern and Southern farms.
Northern farms raise Bos Indicus cattle because of its hardiness, tick
resistance and its ability to cope with heat.
However, beef from the Bos Indicus (Brahman and Santa Gertrudis)
produces lower quality beef and are package to make hamburger, hotdogs and beef
jerky among
others. Or they are shipped live to destinations like India or sent to Southern
farms for fattening. Cattle for sale in
the Southern end of the Australian continent are usually of the Bos Taurus
breed (British Angus and Hereford and French Charolais).
There
thousands of cattle breeding farms all over Australia which are open to make
business ties domestically and globally.
