Live exports continue to be an important outlet for our cattle providing an essential element of competition within the beef trade. Live exports to date are 52% up on the same period last year. Live exports in 2004 were sluggish however, and our exports this year are more in line with the more traditional export levels of 2003. The information on main destinations has been forwarded to the Deputy.
