Australia mourns loss of important meat industry figure
08/04/2013
Queensland cattle farmer and beef retailer Zanda McDonald died on April 4 from injuries he sustained after falling from a height of four metres while repairing a windmill on his farm. He was 41 years old.
Mr McDonald ran a cattle-grazing business near Cloncurry, one of Australia’s largest family-owned cattle enterprises, with around 170,000 head of cattle.
In 2011 his company, MDH, was named as Australia’s red meat industry innovator of the year because of its work in research and development in the beef industry and for becoming the only non-Brazilian company licensed to export beef to Brazil.
