Cattle: Terra Firma beefs up

The UK-headquartered firm is understood to have paid roughly A$48 million (€28 million; $40 million) for the company, which has approximately 40,000 cattle on 600,000 hectares. It will be bolted on to Australia’s second-largest beef producer, Consolidated Pastoral, which Terra Firma purchased in April for a reported A$425 million.
