Cattle and buffalo waiting to be shipped overseas (mostly to Indonesia) for Halal slaughter from the Berrimah Yard near East Arm Wharf in Darwin. The yard is run by the Northern Territory Livestock Exporters Association. Brahman cattle and Asian buffalo were introduced to Northern Australia in the 19th Century and have become one of this sparsely populated area’s biggest food exports. The animals are left to run wild almost all of the year until the beginning of the dry season when they are mustered (rounded up) from remote areas and trucked here for export to Muslim countries for consumption.
