The Townsville Livestock team recently hosted JBS’s annual Carcase Competition, bringing together North Queensland producers to benchmark their cattle and gain valuable performance insights.

Now in its fourth year, the event continues to grow in popularity, offering producers the opportunity to receive detailed feedback and compare results across a range of classes designed to assess both on-hoof and carcase performance. Judges noted the high standard of entries this year, with only marginal differences separating results.

Standout performers on the night highlighted the value of consistency across multiple measures, reinforcing the importance of data-driven decision-making on-farm. Producers also emphasised the benefits of participating, with feedback from the competition helping guide continuous improvement on farm.

Townsville Livestock Manager Aaron Adcock said the competition plays an important role in supporting producers and strengthening the broader industry.

“This competition highlights the strength and consistency of livestock coming out of North Queensland, while also giving producers meaningful data to support on-farm decision-making,” he said.

Alongside the competition, attendees also took part in a fan favourite blind tasting experience, with Angus X recognised as the top-performing breed for the first time in the competition, based on eating quality attributes.

BOC South Pacific, a key industrial gas supplier to JBS, has been recognised at Australian Manufacturing Week (AMW) 2026, taking out both the Innovation in Food & Beverage Manufacturing Award and the prestigious Manufacturer of the Year Award.

These accolades recognise the collaborative work between BOC and JBS in delivering an innovative solution to replace carbon dioxide (dry ice) with a liquid nitrogen tunnel for chilling beef trim in the Dinmore TMS room.

In Australia, carbon dioxide is typically recovered as a by-product of natural gas and ammonia production. This creates an inherent supply vulnerability, with availability frequently impacted by maintenance outages at upstream plants. As a result, businesses can face the need to source CO₂ interstate or internationally often at significantly higher cost. This risk was further highlighted in 2022, when Queensland’s only local CO₂ production facility closed following the shutdown of its associated ammonia plant.

Recognising this challenge, JBS partnered with BOC to identify and implement a reliable alternative. Unlike CO₂, nitrogen is abundant in the atmosphere and is produced locally in Brisbane, providing a more stable and resilient supply for the Queensland market.

The nitrogen tunnel project represents a major step forward in both operational resilience and sustainability. Delivered through strong cross-functional collaboration across Operations, Engineering and Procurement alongside BOC’s technical expertise the project demonstrates the impact of aligned teams working towards a common goal.

Beyond mitigating supply risk, the initiative has delivered measurable improvements in cost performance and environmental outcomes. This industry recognition reflects the strength of the partnership through JBS and our Suppliers and highlights the value of innovation and collaboration in driving future-focused solutions.

After arriving from Brazil and spending just three weeks at our Dinmore facility, working at the plant while studying at the JBS English Academy, Arlei Silva Costa has already stepped into his new role as Harvest Floor Foreman.

Arlei has been praised for his strong people skills, leadership, and determination. He says he’s loving working with the Aussie team and is grateful for the opportunities Dinmore has provided.

Alongside his role at the plant, Arlei is also studying at our English Academy, supporting international team members to build their English skills while continuing in their specialised roles and growing their global career opportunities.

While finding learning a new language challenging, Arlei feels fortunate to have the opportunity to live and work in Australia. His advice is, “stay true to who you are, give your best every day, and your goals will always be within reach.”

We’re excited to follow Arlei’s journey and see what he achieves next!
