quick search for Beef (carcass weight) per month, international trade with the USA, for Dec. 2021, shows Canada, Mexico as number one and two, but Brazil as a close number three. In that month and year, the trade with Australia is very low.

It is a recent change:

In January 2022 alone, Brazilian beef imports registered a more than 500% increase.

Record high U.S. beef prices and drought-impacted supplies in Australia, where the U.S. would otherwise source beef, have also contributed to growing imports of processing-grade beef from Brazil

Shipping issues undoubtedly were an issue with Australia.
