Graziers truck SA cattle to NSW as record low rainfall creates feed shortage​

It is rare to see livestock trucks drive from the south to the north of the country in search of feed.

As producers from South Australia's normally lush South East battle what has been described as a "green drought", graziers in normally arid parts of the country are enjoying unseasonal rainfall that is creating ideal conditions for livestock producers.

Far West New South Wales grazier Steve Radford has not had livestock on his station near Broken Hill for the past six years.

But now, given the prime state of his property, White Leeds, he has been able to offer his land to those in the south struggling with drier conditions.

"From January to now we've been able to give some support to people that need some feed," Steve said.

"In the western division we've been very lucky with some abnormal rains through the autumn and winter.

"The region, in general, is very healthy."

Due to the high quality and quantity of feed in the region, Steve said cattle from South Australia's South East would thrive.

"We'll be able to further hold their condition, or even advance their condition to a fat stage," he said.
