Episode description
In this week's episode of The Weekly Grill podcast series, host Kerry Lonergan turns up the heat again on veteran Victorian meatworks cattle buyer, David Ronalds, who this year clocks up his fifth-eighth year buying cattle across eastern and central Australia. How has the industry changed? What was cattle buying like back in 1964, when he first started? Did he ever foresee slaughter cattle making the money they are today?
Tune-in to hear David's account of how cattle buyers used 'dead reckoning' on cattle weights, and other challenges facing buyers from days gone by.
