Home Editorial Policy

Editorial Policy

Cattle Weekly is an independent publication for Australian cattle producers. Our job is to give you clear, accurate and useful information you can act on. This page explains how we do it.

What we cover

We write about beef and dairy cattle farming, cattle health and nutrition, markets and prices, seasons and weather, and industry policy. We write for producers, station hands, agents and anyone who works with cattle in Australia.

Where our facts come from

We use primary sources wherever we can. These include Meat & Livestock Australia, ABARES and the Department of Agriculture, the Bureau of Meteorology, Integrity Systems Company (NLIS), state agriculture departments, and published research. Every market figure we report shows its date and source. We never make up a price, a statistic or a quote.

How we check our work

An editor reviews every article before it goes live. We check the key facts against their source, and we remove or soften any claim we cannot confirm. We write in plain Australian English so every reader can follow along. We use digital tools to help research and draft some articles. A person checks and approves everything we publish.

Independence

Our editorial decisions are our own. Advertisers and sponsors do not choose our stories, see our news articles before they go live, or change what we say about their competitors.

Sponsored content

Some articles are paid for by a business. Every sponsored article carries a clear “Sponsored” label at the top and names the sponsor. Sponsored articles meet the same accuracy standard as everything else. We will not publish sponsored content that is false or misleading.

Affiliate links

Some product links earn us a small commission at no extra cost to you. Commissions never decide what we recommend. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, we fix it fast. We correct the article and add a note at the end that says what changed and when. To report an error, email marketing@cattleweekly.com.au with the article link and what needs fixing.

Contributors

We welcome articles from producers, vets, agronomists and other people with real experience. Contributors must declare any business interest in their topic. See Write For Us to pitch an idea.
