1 WAGYU BEEF PRODUCTION IN AUSTRALIA Dr Sally Lloyd CY O Connor Foundation
2 2.8 million dairy cattle 24.6 million beef cattle 1.2% to wagyu bulls (169,000 joinings in 2014) 2.8 million grainfed cattle were marketed 35% of all adult cattle slaughtered. Source Meat and Livestock Australia
3 Australia exports 74% of its total beef production 80-90% of its wagyu beef production Wagyu exports go to Japan China Hongkong Singapore Taiwan USA Europe Middle East
4 Wagyu beef sold at premium Wagyu Carcase at 450kg MS 3 $5.00/kg $2,250 MS 4 $6.00/kg $2,700 MS 5 $7.00/kg $3,100 MS 6 $8.00/kg $3,600 MS 7 $9.00/kg $4,050 MS 8 $10.00/kg $4,500 MS 9 $11.00/kg $4,950 MS 9+ $12.00/kg $5,400 Avg Wagyu Fullblood Avg Bos taurus Standard Carcase at 350kg MS 0-2 $3.50/kg $1,225 Avg Crossbred Wagyu

13 Australian Consumer Preferences 25.4kg of beef consumed per person Traditionally beef eaten as steak, roast, hamburger, stew 250g-500g per person per meal Health Conscious From Healthy beef = lean beef / less beef Beef consumption has decreased Now realising that marbled fat improves taste (to BMS 4-5) Solution: reduce saturated fats but increase unsaturated fats Decrease melting temperature of fat 7/06/2017 CY O Connor ERADE Village Foundation 14
