Western Fires Kill Thousands of Cattle

Across the West, major wildfires are wreaking havoc this summer on the region’s economically fragile livestock industry. In areas such as remote Powder River County, Mont., ranchers says they could be grappling with the devastation for years to come.

Live exports to shamed abattoirs suspended

Australian live cattle exports to 11 Indonesian abattoirs investigated by the ABC’s Four Corners program will be suspended, Agriculture Minister Joe Ludwig has confirmed.

Senator Ludwig told Labor Caucus of the decision as anger mounted over the scenes of mistreatment exposed on last night’s program.
