# May cattle exports near 60,000 head - Beef Central

> Almost 60,000 cattle were exported from Australia in May, the largest monthly volume of 2022 so far. Shipments to Indonesia are expected to fall in coming months after a foot-and-mouth disease outbreak there suppressed demand.

## Why it matters

Lower Indonesian feeder demand weakens Australian live cattle export volumes and pressures feeder prices, though analysts expect demand to recover once vaccines are available.
