NAPCO, a leading Australian cattle company, faces a logistics challenge due to flooding in Northern Territory. With train tracks inaccessible, they must find an alternative method to deliver 10,000 cattle from Alexandria Station to Darwin. The case explores:

1. Factors to consider in advising NAPCO on cattle delivery
2. Comparison of two potential cattle drive routes: Coorabulka and Boomarra Stations
3. Analysis of route options considering distance, feed requirements, and weight loss
4. Cost calculations including labor, lost cattle, and revenue impact
5. Decision-making process balancing profitability, animal welfare, and operational feasibility

The case emphasizes structured problem-solving, quantitative analysis, and strategic decision-making in a unique agricultural logistics scenario.
