In 15-second clip posted on X on Aug. 13 announcing South Park's return with Episode 3 on Aug. 20, only brief clips of Episode 2 were shown. 'South Park' Season 27, Episode 2 Attracted More Big Viewership The South Park Season 27, Episode 2, Got a Nut — like Episode 1, Sermon on the 'Mount — drew in big viewership for Comedy Central and Paramount+, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Episode 3 co-founder Andrew Whitelaw optimistic on ‘rosy' future of Australian beef industry
Market analyst and Episode 3 co-founder Andrew Whitelaw is optimistic of the Australian beef industry's 'rosy' future amidst an increase in popularity of locally-sourced beef. Speaking at the Western Australian Livestock Research Council forum in Gingin, Mr Whitelaw said Australia was still a huge consumer of red meat. 'We're reproducing meat . . . the domestic market gets satisfied first,' he said. 'The picture for red meat looks very rosy . . . I am more negative on the grains market than the red meat market. 'Over time Australia is still a huge consumer of meat — one of the biggest in the world per capita — but that domestic consumption of beef and that domestic consumption of pork has dropped significantly. 'Since 2000, lamb and beef has gone down, but chicken and pork has gotten more and more popular.' Mr Whitelaw said that over time, domestic consumption of was a change of population demographic who consumed more pork than red meat. 'Locally we're seeing things like chicken hasn't really changed in price for a long time — pork has gone up, but it's still cheap,' he said. 'When we look at pork, one of the factors that's created that increased consumption is the demographic change in Australia. 'We have got more Philippines, more South Asians, more Chinese, who eat pork a lot more as a staple than white populations do.' Contributing to the bright outlook of the Australian beef industry was the decline of meat analogue, also known as fake meat, which surged during COVID but has since declined in demand. 'Nobody wants fake meat,' Mr Whitelaw said. 'I think that these products, the reason why they're not successful is because we're seeing they've been very successful to start, and were very good attractive propositions for investment. 'But the reality is that consumers went out and bought a burger — but they only tried it once, and they didn't try it again. 'The reason behind that is because they're not very good, whereas beef is pretty consistent, and Australian beef is probably the most consistent in the world.' Mr Whitelaw said beef is following a strong upward trend as the second largest exporter of beef behind Brazil, with a reputation of strong biosecurity protocols. 'We are the second largest exporter of beef around the world — way behind Brazil — so we have the ability to export to almost anywhere because we have biosecurity protocols,' he said. Despite the 10 per cent tariff imposed on exports from Australia to the United States Mr Whitelaw was optimistic that WA would be the 'least exposed'. 'Tariffs have been a big talking point in recent times since Trump came into effect, there has been that fear of tariffs,' he said. 'The reality is we've got a 10 per cent tariff — it's our biggest market but it's not really a huge issue at the moment. 'We're seeing the US doesn't have any beef to export to any significant volume, so we're seeing their imports rising and their exports declining, which is good for us, because they are no longer competing with us in a lot of markets.'

Australia cashes in on record sheep prices as meat exports surge
[CANBERRA] Australian sheep farmers are cashing in on record-high sheep prices, as rising global demand for lamb and mutton fuels a boom in exports from the world's top sheep meat supplier. Prices are likely to rise further in the coming years as production in New Zealand, Australia's biggest sheep meat export rival, stagnates, analysts said. 'We've seen waves of higher and higher pricing as export demand and our market share has grown,' said Matt Dalgleish, a livestock and meat analyst at consultants Episode 3. While there will be seasonal price volatility, he said, 'until the underlying pressure of limited supply and strong growth in demand changes, there should be more good times ahead for Australian producers.' Australia last year exported 702,000 metric tons of lamb, mutton and goat meat worth US$3.6 billion, almost 200,000 tons more than in 2019, previously the biggest export year. Shipments in the first four months of this year were 10 per cent higher than during the same period in 2024, Australian trade data show.

Sign Up Sign Up Processors' need for animals pushed the price of heavy lambs to record highs of nearly US$7.14 a kilogram last week, up 50 per cent from the same time last year, according to a national price indicator compiled by industry body Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA). China is the biggest importer of sheep meat. Other major buyers include the United States, Britain, the European Union and the Middle East. Rising incomes and populations are fuelling demand for sheep meat, and high beef prices, especially in the United States, are encouraging people to switch to lamb and mutton, Dalgleish said. Helping Australia take advantage of that growth is an ongoing decline in New Zealand's sheep industry. The two countries account for more than 80 per cent of global sheep meat exports, according to MLA. The number of sheep in Australia grew in recent years, allowing farmers to better supply processors, but New Zealand's flock has shrunk every year since 2012, according to the country's statistics agency – something New Zealand farmers say is partly due to the conversion of grazing land to pine forests that earn carbon credits. 'New Zealand is the other major global exporter,' said Angus Gidley-Baird, an analyst at Rabobank. 'Its production is stagnating or retracting. So any growth in global demand is Australia's opportunity for the taking.' REUTERS

Soybeans edge higher as soyoil rises on Middle East tensions; corn dips on favourable weather
BEIJING: Chicago soybean futures inched higher on Monday, supported in part by gains in soyoil prices after a US strike on Iranian nuclear facilities stoked concerns of global crude oil supplies. The most-active soybean contract rose 0.09% to $10.61-6/8 per bushel, as of 0301 GMT. Soyoil climbed 1.14% to 55.09 cents per pound. China's May soybean imports from Brazil jump Oil prices surged after the US targeted key Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend, an escalation that lent support to soyoil, which is closely tied to biofuel demand. 'Fundamentally, not much has changed since the end of the week,' said Andrew Whitelaw, agricultural consultant at Episode 3. 'Speculators pulled back their net short positions, which is not surprising, considering the uncertainty about the attacks on Iran by Israel, and now the US' Traders and analysts are closely watching for Iran's response to the US strikes. 'The concern will now be about retaliation from Iran, and its proxies in the region. If there are concerns to supply chains, this could cause the market to rally further as crude oil prices rise,' Whitelaw added. US soybean prices remain under pressure due to weak demand and ample global supplies. In top buyer China, soybean imports from Brazil surged 37.5% last month from a year earlier, data showed on Friday, as buyers scooped up South America's bumper crop, while supplies from the United States also rose 28.3%. Wheat traded flat at $5.83 a bushel, after last week's strong rally. Gains were capped by harvest pressure, as the accelerating US winter wheat harvest increases supply. Corn slipped 0.41% to $4.27 per bushel, marking its lowest level of 2025. Favourable weather across much of the US Midwest has improved crop prospects, putting pressure on prices. Commodity funds were net sellers of Chicago Board of Trade wheat, corn, soyoil and soybean futures contracts on Friday and net buyers of soymeal futures, traders said.

Chicago soybeans flat on favourable weather, soyoil supports
BEIJING/PARIS - Chicago soybean futures were flat on Tuesday, torn between favourable U.S. crop weather and still strong soyoil prices despite a small fall after a sharp two-day rally, fuelled by surging crude oil and stronger U.S. biofuel blending mandates. The most-active soybean contract was unchanged at $10.69-3/4 per bushel, as of 1145 GMT. Soybeans had touched a one-month high and soyoil a 20-month high on Monday. Analysts said Iran-Israel tensions could add volatility to grain markets through energy price shocks. "At present eyes across all markets are on what is occurring in the Middle East," said Andrew Whitelaw, agricultural consultant at Episode 3. "The region is a huge contributor to the energy markets, and these markets have a huge impact on grain pricing levels." Soyoil dropped 0.3% at 54.95 cents per pound, as traders took profits, removing some support for soybeans. Soyoil is used to make biodiesel, and is therefore influenced by oil prices. These rose on Tuesday on rising disruptions from the Iran-Israel conflict, although major oil and gas infrastructure and flows have so far been spared from any substantial impact. The oilseed also continues to face headwinds from weak demand, tariff uncertainty and global competition. Corn slipped 0.06% to $4.35 a bushel, pressured by beneficial weekend rains across key growing regions, including parts of the Plains and the northwest and southeastern Midwest. However, strong export data helped curb losses. U.S. corn inspections in the latest week reached about 1.67 million metric tons, at the high end of trade expectations. Weekly condition ratings for the country's corn crop also improved and were tied for the highest for this time of the season in several years, according to U.S. government data. Soybean ratings declined. rose 0.65% to $5.40 a bushel, though harvest pressure capped gains. The U.S. winter wheat harvest is expanding after a slow start. The USDA said the winter wheat crop was 10% harvested, up from 4% a week ago but behind the five-year average of 16%. Analysts on average had estimated harvest progress at 11%. In France , the farm ministry on Tuesday forecast a strong rebound of the country's 2025 winter barley and rapeseed production from rain-hit crops last season. Commodity funds were net buyers of Chicago Board of Trade soyoil futures contracts on Monday and net sellers of corn, soymeal, wheat and soybean futures, traders said.
