Drought sees cattle giant cut herd numbers "aggressively" de-stock its Queensland Channel Country properties.
One of Australia's big cattle companies says it is continuing to "aggressively" de-stock its Queensland Channel Country properties as the drought continues to bite.
S Kidman and Co has properties on the Georgina, Diamantina and Cooper Creek systems, including Durham Downs in Queensland's far south-west and Sandringham further north near Bedourie.
Chief executive Greg Campbell says while a moderate flood earlier this year has helped, the drought is worsening in most south-west areas and cattle are still being moved out.
