IT’S all hands on deck as far as cattle industry peak groups go in the bid to get help to those in immediate need following devastating northern floods.
AgForce’s emergency hotline, 1800 648 974, is the first stop if you are a producer in need of help, or you can assist with the provision of fodder or transport.
Meat and Livestock Australia, meanwhile, has compiled a comprehensive list of resources.
The big beef industry service provider said the unprecedented natural disaster was still unfolding for many red meat producers, and the full scale of the floods is as yet unknown.
It is impossible to ascertain the extent of the full impact to livestock in these regions, and what the flow on impact is to the red meat and livestock industry and the local cattle markets, according to MLA.
