Australian cattle numbers are expected to decline slightly to 26 million head in 2019 due to widespread drought in the two major cattle producing states. Total slaughter for 2019 is forecast at 7.8 million head, down from an estimated 8.25 million head in 2018. 2019 beef and veal production is forecast at 2.18 million metric tons (MMT) while beef and veal exports are forecast at 1.51 MMT, compared to an estimated 1.63 MMT in 2018. In 2019, pig slaughter is forecast at 5.3 million head and pig meat production at 0.42 MMT, a decline from the previous year because of low pork prices and grain shortages.
