The people involved in live exports have a commitment to helping to build up breeding herds and meet the nutritional needs of families overseas.

This magazine tells their stories - from cattle stations in Queensland and researchers in New South Wales, to those working on ships and with our international customers to improve human and animal welfare.

Ruminations has been developed in response to surveys of the Australian community, which highlighted the need to do better at explaining how the live export industry works.
