Weekly cattle and sheep market wrap
Key points
Record cattle yardings were achieved at Dubbo and Tamworth.
The Mutton Indicator lifted to a new record at 831¢/kg carcase weight.
Easter disruptions continued to impact cattle and sheepmeat slaughter.
Markets resumed with a full week of sales, resulting in a strong cattle yarding – the largest of the year so far. Sheep yarding numbers were also strong, with mixed results across the indicators. Weekly slaughter figures are still impacted by the Easter period.
Cattle market
Drying conditions across northern NSW continued to push producers to sell stock. Both Tamworth and Dubbo saleyards achieved record yardings, with 7,553 head and 11,200 head yarded respectively. The total national cattle yarding reached 106,218 head – the highest yarding in 2026 and just 28 head below 2025’s largest weekly yarding.
The Feeder Heifer Indicator was the only indicator to lift this week, reaching 407.5¢/kg liveweight (lwt) (+4%). The Feeder Steer Indicator remained stable at 456¢/kg lwt.
The Restocker Yearling Steer Indicator fell 1.8% to 446¢/kg lwt. Roma formed 25% of the total contribution to the category, reaching 477¢/kg lwt, while Wagga made up 7.2% of the contribution and reached 490¢/kg lwt.
Sheep market
The national lamb yarding lifted to 227,305 head (+53%) and the mutton yarding (+79%) to 80,899 head, with the Monday public holiday last week impacting numbers. The indicators were mixed, with Heavy, Light and Restocker Lamb indicators easing, Merino Lamb and Mutton indicators lifting and Trade Lamb Indicator holding steady.
The Mutton Indicator has continued to push further, breaking another weekly record, reaching 831¢/kg carcase weight (cwt) across an offering of 55,653 head. The indicator has lifted by 91% from the same time 12 months ago, with a tightening supply and strong competition among processors being key factors.
The Restocker Lamb Indicator fell by 1.6% over the week to 1,220¢/kg cwt across an offering of 46,840 head. The yarding at Yass made up 7% of the offering and achieved 1,411¢/kg cwt, 15.7% above the national aggregate.
