> Indonesia imported about 75,000 feeder cattle in August, a large and unexpected volume that followed 78,000 in July and over 60,000 in both May and June. Slaughter cattle prices firmed slightly ahead of the Qurban festival. Importers are stocking up before Northern Australian supplies tighten.

## Why it matters
