the thing that really gets me is that commercial agistment on "prime Pastures " which is what the cattle men call it is in excess of $1.00 a day .. animals should be putting on 1kg a day at an end value of $1.50 to $2.20 per kg live weight . So charge a commercial rate for this agistment and open it up to tender from all and sundry rather rather give to a few select people who have had good value for next to no cost . Of course they dont want to give this up ! the portion of victorias beef herd is absolutely minimal
