Livestock and meat production
Key Finding
Total Queensland beef and sheep and lamb numbers decreased by nearly 7% from 2013–14 to 2017–18, whereas pig numbers increased 11% over the same period. The total gross value of production (GVP) for beef increased by nearly 40%, the sheep and lamb GVP decreased by 82% whereas for pigs the GVP decreased by 5%. Egg production increased by 4% during this period resulting in a total GVP increase of 18%. Despite wool production declining by 23%, the GVP increased by 22%. During this same period, milk production declined by 9% however the GVP remained steady.

Queensland
Beef, sheep and lamb production across Queensland has declined as graziers destocked due to unprecedented drought conditions.
Beef producers statewide carried 11.9 million head of beef cattle in 2017–18, down 7% since 2013–14.
Sheep and lamb numbers fell similarly by 7%, from 2.3 million in 2013–14 to 2.2 million in 2017–18.
Pig numbers across Queensland have increased 11% since 2013–14 to 700,000 in 2017–18. While relatively stable overall, some Natural Resource Management (NRM) regions are reducing numbers slightly due to higher grain prices.
Reduced herd size has pushed cattle, sheep and lamb prices to historic highs.
Beef gross value of production (GVP) has increased markedly, nearly 40%, since 2013–14 to $5.4 billion in 2017–18.
Sheep and lamb GVP decreased by 82% from $61 million in 2013–14 to $11 million in 2017–18.
Pig GVP was slightly down in 2017–18 at $248 million.
Regionally, some areas fared better than others depending on drought conditions. North Queensland Dry Tropics (formerly Burdekin), Southern Queensland (formerly Border Rivers Maranoa–Balonne), Reef (formerly Mackay Whitsunday) and Southern Gulf NRM regions ran more cattle, in part due to the availability of both grass and grain feed, as well as herds being moved into these areas.
While pig meat consumption has increased overall in the 10 years to 2017–18, strong price competition from other meats, particularly chicken, has seen a decline since 2016–17.
Milk production continues a steady decline in Queensland, from 433 megalitres (ML) in 2013–14 to 392ML in 2017–18, a 9% decline. Its GVP in 2017–2018 was about $230.3 million, about the same as in 2013–14. A price increase of 10% per litre between 2013–14 and 2017–18 offset the effect of decreased production, resulting in a steady GVP.
Milk prices in Queensland are predominantly determined by domestic supply and demand conditions and contract arrangements that farmers have with major food retailers. There is increasing demand for Queensland milk domestically, and as an export product to China, for baby formula.
Queensland egg production has steadily increased, from 92.9 million dozen eggs in 2013–14 to 96.9 million dozen eggs in 2017–18, a 4% rise. Its GVP increased by 18%, from $190.3 million in 2013–14 to $224.8 million in 2017–18. The price for a dozen eggs increased from $2.05 in 2013–14 to $2.32 in 2017–18.
As with the milk market, domestic egg prices are determined by local supply and demand, and particularly arrangements made between major food retailers and egg producers.
Consumer awareness of animal welfare concerns is seeing a decline in market share for cage-chicken eggs in favour of free-range eggs.
Queensland’s wool production is in decline. Production fell 23% from 10,800 tonnes in 2013–14 to 8,300 tonnes in 2017–18. Strong export demand, particularly from China, pushed the price per tonne up 59% over the same period. Wool growers received $7,438 per tonne in 2013–14 compared to $11,840 in 2017–18. This in turn meant that despite lower production, wool’s GVP increased 22% to $98 million in 2017–18.

Metadata
Area sown and quantities produced of livestock products and meat production, across Queensland NRM regions were obtained from Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) data, Agricultural Commodities Australia and Value of Agricultural Commodities Produced Australia for the respective years (catalogue numbers 7121 and 7503). Quantities of milk and wool were obtained from the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries AgTrends publications, as this data is not published by ABS. Queensland figures from AgTrends were disaggregated to the NRM level in line with GVP estimates from ABS.
