核心要点
上市货源缩减，肉牛各品类行情全线下滑。
巴拉腊特一批羔羊拍出 500 澳元 / 头，刷新全国纪录。
肉牛屠宰量创 2019 年 6 月以来新高。
新南威尔士州北部与昆士兰州南部降水偏少，养殖户经营承压，肉牛持续向北流转。上市肉羊货源收紧，除小羔羊报价走弱外，其余肉羊品类行情全线上涨。屠宰厂保持满负荷生产，肉牛屠宰量创下 2019 年 6 月以来峰值。
肉牛市场
全国肉牛上市量环比下滑 3.2% 至 91520 头。即便货源收紧，各品类牛价全线下挫，肉牛交易行情步入淡季。
补栏用周岁阉牛上市量增至 8755 头，报价指数下跌 1%，活重成交价 493 澳分 / 公斤。罗马市场供货占总量 24%，活重均价 508 澳分 / 公斤，行情优于全国均价。当地市场数据显示，上市牛源多来自新南威尔士州与昆士兰州西南部。受新州北部干旱影响，肉牛由新州向昆州转运的趋势或将延续。
屠宰母牛上市量缩减 9.3%，但报价指数跌幅居前，大跌 7% 至活重 348 澳分 / 公斤；维多利亚州屠宰母牛售价表现亮眼，活重均价达 384 澳分 / 公斤。
绵羊市场
肉羊市场行情持续走强，多数品类价格自年初以来保持上行态势。除轻型羔羊指数下跌 20 澳分（跌幅 2%）外，其余品类报价普遍上涨 7 至 30 澳分。市场分析称，肉羊品质优良、采购商竞价激烈助推行情走高。
全周肉羊上市总量环比下降 2% 至 273650 头，其中淘汰肉羊出栏量减少 1 万头、降幅 12%，延续了年初以来货源缩减趋势；羔羊上市量小幅上涨 1% 至 201693 头。
补栏羔羊涨幅最大，指数走高 2.5%，胴体价 1208 澳分 / 公斤；商用羔羊涨价 21 澳分，胴体价 1175 澳分 / 公斤；大体重羔羊上涨 11 澳分，胴体价 1118 澳分 / 公斤。
巴拉腊特市场成交一批无角道塞特杂交大体重羔羊，活重区间 83–109 公斤，单头成交价高达 500 澳元，刷新澳洲整批羔羊全国成交纪录。

Weekly cattle and sheep market wrap
Key points
All cattle indicators fell across a smaller yarding.
One pen of lambs in Ballarat made $500/head – a national record.
Cattle slaughter reached its highest level since June 2019.
Limited rainfall for northern NSW and southern Queensland is beginning to test producers as cattle continue to move north. All sheep indicators lifted – except for the light lamb indicator – across a tighter yarding. Processors continue operating at high capacity, with cattle slaughter reaching its highest level since June 2019.
Cattle market
National cattle yardings fell to 91,520 head (-3.2%) after a strong yarding the previous week. Despite the reduced yarding, prices fell across all indicators, signaling a quieter period for the trade.
The Restocker Yearling Steer Indicator fell by 1% to 493¢/kg liveweight (lwt) across a larger offering of 8,755 head. Roma made up 24% of the total offering and achieved a premium of 508¢/kg lwt. The Roma report noted that a large part of the yard was drawn from NSW and south-west Queensland. Stock movements from NSW to Queensland look likely to continue as dry conditions persist in northern NSW.
The Processor Cow Indicator had the largest price fluctuation, down 7% to 348¢/kg lwt, despite a 9.3% drop in the yarding offered. Processor cows sold out of Victorian saleyards received significantly better prices at 384¢/kg lwt.
Sheep market
The sheep market continued to be strong, with most indicators maintaining an upward trend since the beginning of the year. All indicators lifted between 7−30¢ except for the Light Lamb Indicator, which dropped 20¢ (2%). Market reports pointed to good quality and intense buyer competition being responsible for the lifts.
Yardings dropped 2% to 273,650, driven by a decline of 10,000 head of mutton, or 12% compared to last week. This has continued the decline in supply since the beginning of the year. Lamb lifted marginally by 1% to 201,693 head.
The Restocker Lamb Indicator had the largest lift of 2.5%, totaling 1,208¢/kg carcase weight (cwt). Trade lambs lifted 21¢ to 1,175¢/kg cwt and heavy lambs increased 11¢ to 1,118¢/kg cwt.
Ballarat achieved a new record, registering the sale of a pen of heavy Poll Dorset cross lambs with a liveweight of 83–109kg for an incredible $500/head, claiming the new national record price for a pen of lambs.
