核心要点
全国各类牲畜拍卖存栏量均下降。
肉牛市场指标持续上行。
新南威尔士州屠宰量接近该州历史最高水平。
在上市存栏量减少的背景下，肉牛市场指标延续上周涨势继续走高；除母羊肉指标外，所有羊肉品类指标均出现回落。肉牛屠宰量仍维持历史高位。
肉牛市场
随着冬季临近，多数养殖户已敲定冬季存栏养殖计划，全国肉牛上市量下降21%，至67965头。供应收紧推高了各项市场指标，仅奶牛指标下跌6澳分，报每公斤活重315澳分。价格延续向好行情，所有品类指标均高于一个月前水平。
补栏牛品类本周涨幅居前，一岁后备母牛补栏牛指标上涨5%，至每公斤活重360澳分。罗马与达尔比两地上市总量2602头，占整体供应的60%。
育肥阉牛指标上涨2.9%，报每公斤活重472.5澳分，本场上市量5198头。新南威尔士州南部该品类出现溢价，瓦加、福布斯及卡科尔市场均价为每公斤活重490–501澳分。
绵羊市场
全国羔羊上市量下降12.6%，至162513头；成年绵羊上市量下降22%，至68242头。尽管供应缩减，但除母羊肉指标外，其余所有市场指标均走低。不过瓦加和巴拉腊特市场报告显示，出栏的短毛育肥羔羊需求保持坚挺，养殖场也成为重要采购竞争方。母羊肉指标上涨1.5%，至每公斤胴体重788澳分。
美利奴羔羊上市9171头，指标下跌4%，至每公斤胴体重987澳分。该品类在新南威尔士州以外市场表现更佳。维多利亚州与南澳仅上市1761头，均价分别较全国均值高出2%和5%。
重型羔羊上市25264头，指标下跌4%，至每公斤胴体重1063.5澳分。瓦加上市量占总量31%，维多利亚州各拍卖场供应占比达35%。

Weekly cattle and sheep market wrap
Key points
National yardings across all species fell.
Cattle market indicators continued to lift.
Slaughter in NSW reached near record state levels.
Across a reduced yarding, cattle indicators continued to lift off the back of last week’s gains, while all lamb indicators fell except for the Mutton Indicator. Cattle slaughter remains at historically elevated levels.
Cattle market
With winter approaching, most producers have made decisions on carrying stock through winter, resulting in the national cattle yarding falling 21% to 67,965 head. The tighter supply lifted all market indicators, except for the Dairy Cow Indicator, which fell 6¢ to 315¢/kg liveweight (lwt). This trend continues a positive run for prices, with all indicators above prices from a month ago.
Restocker categories gained the most over the week, with the Restocker Yearling Heifer Indicator lifting 5% to 360¢/kg lwt. Roma and Dalby contributed 60% of the supply which totalled 2,602 head.
The Feeder Steer Indicator lifted 2.9% to 472.5¢/kg lwt across an offering of 5,198 head. A premium for the category came from southern NSW with Wagga, Forbes and Carcoar averaging 490¢–501¢/kg lwt.
Sheep market
The national lamb yarding fell 12.6% to 162,513, while the national sheep yarding fell 22% to 68,242 head. Despite the reduced supply, all market indicators except for the Mutton Indicator fell, though both the Wagga and Ballarat market reports noted firm demand for short skin lambs coming off feed, with feedlots as a key source of competition. The Mutton Indicator lifted 1.5% to 788¢/kg carcase weight (cwt).
The Merino Lamb Indicator fell 4% to 987¢/kg cwt across an offering of 9,171 head. The category performed best outside of NSW. In Victoria and SA, just 1,761 head were available, making 2% and 5% above the national aggregate, respectively.
The Heavy Lamb Indicator fell 4% to 1,063.5¢/kg cwt across an offering of 25,264 head. Wagga made up 31% of the total contribution, while Victorian yards made up 35% of the total supply.
