I thank both gentlemen. It has been a fabulous meeting although it is a pity this information was not out there before. We learned a lot here today.
The issue of exports was mentioned. If a weaning bull or a heifer is exported at ten to 12 months, it really stops there. We do not have any record after it leaves the country. If the market is fluctuating and animals are sold, say, in January, at a different price per kilo from animals sold in June or August, is there a model to work that out?
