In this episode of The Angus Table, host Scott Wright sits down with Mick Crowley, Managing Director of Meat & Livestock Australia, for a wide-ranging conversation about global beef markets, industry leadership, and the future of Australian livestock production.

Mick shares his journey from growing up on a beef cattle operation at Barraba to coaching the UNE meat judging team, working at Blue Stripe Meats with Greg Chapel, and ultimately leading MLA with its 285 staff and $300 million annual budget.

They discuss the dynamic 2025 market environment with US tariffs unexpectedly benefiting Australia, the importance of building social capital rather than defending social license, MLA's multi-breed evaluation strategy, and why quality and sustainability will define competitive advantage globally.

So pull up a chair at the Angus Table for insights from one of the industry's most experienced and thoughtful leaders.
