The Beef Central and Sheep Central publishing team will be taking a short break over the Christmas and New Year period as the livestock industries pause for the summer recess.

Important news content will continue to be uploaded to both websites sites over the break, and our regular news emails to subscribers will re-commence from Monday, January 12, 2015.

If you do not yet receive our free news alerts, click here to register for Sheep Central, and click here to register for Beef Central.

Since January this year, Sheep Central and Beef Central’s combined news emails have delivered more than 2000 news items, covering the entire spectrum of the beef, sheep, lamb and wool supply chains.

Our ability to deliver that, free-of-charge, to a large and growing audience of beef and sheep industry stakeholders across Australia is made possible by the enduring and gratefully received support of our advertisers.

We encourage all readers to consider our advertisers’ goods and services when making purchases in the year ahead.

We wish all readers a happy, restful and most especially wet Christmas and New Year, and look forward to picking up where we left off on January 12, 2015.
