As the live export season ramps up in the north of Western Australia, record prices are being fetched in WA by pastoralists sending cattle to Indonesia.
Key points:
A shipment of 3,000 head of cattle is set to leave Broome Port
Record prices come off the back of the best wet season in years
For the first time, Kimberley producers are getting as much as $4.10 per kilo for feeder steers on the first major shipment from Broome Port today, more than double what they were fetching a decade ago.
