AAco runs more than 560,000 head of cattle on 24 stations in Queensland and the Northern Territory, and better than average rainfall on many of the properties has resulted in a better than average season.
"Unlike the southern half of Australia the majority of AAco's properties are experiencing an above average season with ample supply of pasture and stock water," the company said in its statement to the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX).
"AAco's cattle are in excellent condition with weights of growing cattle above average."
The company also said the fundamental strength in demand for Australian beef both overseas and domestically continues.
