What will happen to WA's sheep flock when the live export boats stop in 2028?

Will it mean the end of sheep farming in WA? Or will it mean more local lamb products on supermarket shelves?

Agricultural analyst Matt Dalgleigh joins ABC Perth Mornings presenter Michelle Stanley to answer questions about what the future looks like.

He begins with an overview of what the WA flock currently looks like.
