Ranchers in Australia

Question:

I work with a US company that manufactures vitamin/mineral supplement for grazing animals, cattle, sheep, and horses. We have been approached about expanding our operations and extending our technology into Australia. But, I have significant reservations about the ability of rancher in Australia to spend any resources beyond absolute survival. Any responses or suggestions to find information regarding the financial viability of Australian ranchers would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Abe
