Australia's first live beef cattle shipment to China has arrived.
The shipment of 1200 slaughtering cattle, from Portland, Victoria to Shidao port, Shandong, was made possible under the China-Australia free trade deal.
At the start of the year the export tariff dropped from 10 per cent to four per cent.
