Host Al opens 2026 by thanking listeners and outlining more practical guests, more local producers, and monthly segments from Chelsea (Herd Solutions) with veterinary updates and Morgan Davies (Elders) with livestock market updates. Morgan reviews the move of the mountain calf sales to the Bensdale facility, noting strong results, accurate weighing and presentation, good seasonal rain, few cattle health issues, no cattle getting out, and appreciation for locals and staff. They discuss strong lamb and sheep prices (including heavy lambs and cull sheep), solid cattle pricing, and the impact of higher diesel on freight costs. Morgan says Middle East disruption has slowed air freight for sheep and lamb, but believes global protein demand remains. They promote a May 6 red-meat marketing/selling event and cost-of-production sessions, debate bull replacement economics, preview Easter events and Morgan’s 30th birthday trip to the Swifts Creek races, warn spring could tighten and dry, and predict local fuel may reach $3.35–$3.40 and possibly $4.00.
