Aerial vista of a sprawling cattle feedlot in the arid western plains of New South Wales, where carefully managed livestock paddocks stretch beneath an expansive blue sky. Hundreds of beef cattle - a mix of white, brown, and black breeds - are strategically grouped across fenced dirt enclosures, creating a living mosaic of agricultural productivity. A green John Deere tractor moves deliberately along the central feeding lane, distributing nutrition to the herds with mechanical precision. Mature eucalyptus trees line the boundary, providing sparse windbreak against the harsh landscape, while a distant salt lake or dried agricultural basin reflects a stark white horizon. The scene captures the intricate balance of modern Australian cattle production - where technology, landscape management, and animal husbandry converge in a sophisticated agricultural ecosystem. The environment speaks to resilience: dusty earth, controlled livestock movements, and strategic water and feed management in a challenging climate.
