Quality

QUALITY means that:

Animals for export go through a process that ensures:

  • Only quality livestock is selected that will suit the climate they will be exported to
  • Specifications are complied with (weight/pregnancy/age/breed)
  • Focus is on the preparation of the animals for the climate they will go to
  • Treatments of the animals go beyond official health protocols to ensure ongoing health into the future
  • Veterinarian inspection and pregnancy testing are more comprehensive than just the minimum
  • Transport of the animals should be world class and with our systems will be
  • Animal welfare is an absolute focus throughout the process
  • Our network is one of quality suppliers spread across Australia
  • With proper management and quality livestock higher profits are achievable

QUALITY Livestock & Price

For as long as livestock has been sold, the cheapest price is the lowest quality, pay a peanut get a monkey well describes this scenario.

Within any market there will always be many offers from exporter’s agents or facilitators. For example with regard to say pregnant Jersey Crossbred Dairy Heifers in the weight range of 360-480kgs these can be considered high quality. In the live weight range 280-340kgs they are not quality, however, they certainly are cheaper though, due to lower freight prices.

The client at the end of the day will decide based on budget, however, one thing is for certain:

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS HIGH QUALITY AT A LOW PRICE HIGH QUALITY/LOW PRICE IS A FANTASY

LOW QUALITY, Low Price and Cutting Corners

  • At Cluny Livestock Exports we cut no corners and export only quality livestock
  • If you buy low quality cheap livestock you will achieve lower milk production, low weight gains, poor feed conversion, low fertility, low profits and overall poor performance
  • Quality livestock are developed through genetics programs spanning decades. The genetic step forward is difficult, the genetic step backward is much easier.
  • The end result of low quality, low price and cutting corners will be:

LESS PROFIT or NO PROFIT & FAILURE
