Queensland Cattle Border Crossings Double In Six Months
Queensland data show 205 512 cattle crossed into New South Wales in the first half of this year, up from 100 821 in the same period in 1942. Minister Williams blamed fixed price differentials favoring New South Wales, with critique from Allied Meat Trade Federation’s Mr. Cameron. Relief measures by price differentials on contract beef were noted but insufficient, as NSW still paid roughly 8s per 100 lb more for civilian beef.
