Australian young cattle and slaughter cattle prices have continued to descend since our opening markets summary podcast with regular commentators, Stockco's Chris Howie and Ep3's Matt Dalgleish  back in late January. Two months on, are we near the bottom of the price cycle? Is there still a way to go? What impact will the forecast drier winter have on cattle supply and demand?

Are processors going to be able to cope (labour wise) with larger numbers of slaughter cattle? If not, what happens to prices? These and other questions are posed in today's cattle market update podcast by Weekly Grill host, Kerry Lonergan.

Other topics include the rapidly changing circumstances in the US beef production cycle, China demand and other potential headwinds and tailwinds.
