核心要点

肉牛市场

本周肉牛市场各项指标表现不一。奶牛指数涨幅最大，上涨3%；育肥阉牛指数跌幅最大，下降3%。部分州周一适逢公共假日，全国场内上市量减少9%，降至60818头。福布斯、塔姆沃思、莫特莱克及沃加等市场因假期休市，相关数据未计入本周指数统计，市场行情因此偏向北部区域，其中昆士兰州上市量占全国总量的51%。

全国青年牛指数本周保持平稳，出栏25421头，报价维持在517澳分/公斤活重。新南威尔士州线上交易量占比最高，达总上市量的21%，均价也位居首位，为557澳分/公斤活重。

加工母牛指数下跌2%，收于383澳分/公斤活重，本次上市量共计10549头。维多利亚州货源极度紧缺，仅上市1827头，市场成交价大幅走高，当地均价达417澳分/公斤活重，较全国均价高出9%。

绵羊市场

本周绵羊市场行情持续走高，受货源紧张、采购方竞价激烈影响，多项指标创下日内新高。各大主产区养殖条件好转，采购热情不减，育肥场采购商持续争抢有限的羔羊货源。

全国羔羊上市量环比下降7%，至114923头，入冬前供应进一步收紧。绵羊上市量同步走低，环比大跌32%，降至33693头，创下2024年年初以来全国最低水平。

尽管本周羔羊货源较上周增加2572头，交易羔羊指数仍创下新高，达到1228澳分/公斤胴体重。福布斯市场成品羔羊单头成交价最高达315澳元，足见优质出栏羔羊的竞拍热度。

受货源持续紧缺、绵羊主产区季节性环境不断改善影响，羊肉指数同样刷新纪录，报865澳分/公斤胴体重。

补栏羔羊指数涨幅最为明显，较上周上涨45澳分，收于1227澳分 / 公斤胴体重。随着饲草供给改善，养殖户补栏意愿高涨，拉动该指数上行。

屠宰量

（1）牛只

肉牛屠宰量环比下降4%，降至157105头。除南澳州与塔斯马尼亚州外，其余各州屠宰量均出现环比下滑，其中新南威尔士州下降7%、昆士兰州下降2%、维多利亚州下降5%。今年迄今，全国肉牛屠宰量较2025年同期高出9%，东部各州屠宰量均高于去年同期。

各州肉牛屠宰量同比数据：

尽管新南威尔士州、塔斯马尼亚州及南澳州屠宰量有所上升，全国羔羊屠宰量仍下降1.5%。维多利亚州与西澳州屠宰量下滑，使得全国羔羊屠宰总量降至400443头。

Key points

• The Eastern Young Cattle Indicator (EYCI) ended the week just shy of 1,000¢/kg carcase weight.

• Trade Lamb and Mutton indicators reached daily record.

• National cattle slaughter eased but 2026 continues 9% above 2025.

The EYCI pushed through to 1,000¢/kg carcase weight (cwt) on Thursday 11 June but ended the week at 975¢/kg cwt. Both Trade Lamb and Mutton indicators reached record levels as processors continue to compete for tightening supply.

Cattle market

The cattle market saw mixed results across indicators this week, with the Dairy Cow Indicator having the largest lift (up 3%) and the Feeder Steer Indicator having the biggest dip (down 3%). The Monday public holiday in some states led to a tighter national yarding, down 9% to 60,818 head. The holiday caused sale closures for Forbes, Tamworth, Mortlake and Wagga, removing their influence on indicators this week. This resulted in a skew to northern markets, particularly Queensland, which accounted for 51% of the national yarding.

The National Young Cattle Indicator (NYCI) remained steady over the week at 517¢/kg liveweight (lwt) across an offering of 25,421 head. Online sales in NSW formed the biggest contribution to the offering, making up 21% and achieving the highest average price at 557¢/kg lwt.

The Processor Cow Indicator fell 2% to 383¢/kg lwt across an offering of 10,549 head. Strong premiums were found at Victorian saleyards against a very tight supply, with just 1,827 head offered. The state averaged 417¢/kg lwt (a 9% difference).

Sheep market

The sheep market continued to perform strongly this week, with several indicators reaching new daily records on the back of constrained supply and strong buyer competition. Buyer activity remained elevated as conditions improved across key production regions, while feedlot buyers continued to compete for a limited pool of available lambs.

National lamb yardings eased 7% to 114,923 head, continuing the tighter supply trend heading into winter. Sheep yardings followed a similar pattern, falling 32% to 33,693 head, the lowest national sheep yarding since the beginning of 2024.

The Trade Lamb Indicator reached a new record this week at 1,228¢/kg cwt, despite supply lifting by 2,572 head week-on-week (WoW). In Forbes, trade lambs reached up to $315/head, highlighting the strength of competition for quality finished lambs.

The Mutton Indicator also set a record, reaching 865¢/kg cwt, as supply remained constrained and seasonal conditions continued to improve in key sheep-producing areas.

The Restocker Lamb Indicator recorded the strongest lift, up 45¢ from last week, to sit at 1,227¢/kg cwt, reflecting strong demand from restockers looking to place lambs back into paddocks as feed availability improves.
