THE Sheep Central and Beef 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 as it happens over coming weeks, and our regular news emails to subscribers will re-commence from Monday, January 11, 2016.

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

Since January, Sheep Central and Beef Central’s combined news emails have delivered more than 2300 news items to readers, covering the entire supply chain spectrum of the lamb, wool and beef industries.

Our ability to deliver that, free-of-charge, to a large and growing audience of sheep and beef industry stakeholders across Australia and overseas  is due to one thing: the enduring support of our commercial and stud advertisers, for which we remain extremely grateful.

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 11.

– Terry, James, Jon and Rod
