He said the company was optimistic that cattle prices would "improve over time", but did not expect it to rush back to the record highs of 2022.AACo is celebrating its 200th year of operation and has relaunched its 1824 Wagyu brand, which "celebrates the year our story began and two centuries of perfecting our craft", Mr Harris says.
