核心要点
牛只上市量有所减少，各指数表现分化。
尽管迎来降雨，绵羊市场的补栏类货源价格依旧下行。
随着加工厂恢复生产，肉牛、羔羊及绵羊屠宰量均出现上涨。
本周澳大利亚南部大部分地区迎来降雨，涵盖西澳、南澳、新南威尔士州与维多利亚州，但西澳西南部土壤湿度仍然偏低，新南威尔士州北部以及昆士兰州大部分区域土壤湿度低于常年均值。
畜牧市场行情分化。牛只上市量下降，使得价格走势各不相同；绵羊市场补栏需求走弱。与此同时，加工厂生产活跃度提升，肉牛、羔羊、绵羊的屠宰量均有所走高。
肉牛市场
全国牛只周度上市量下降24%，至51057头。各指数表现分化，面向屠宰加工及出口的牛只品类跌幅最大。
与此同时，补栏用途牛只价格走高，一岁补栏公牛指数涨幅最高，达到1%，上市3848头，活重价格471澳分/千克。剔除占供应量85%的昆士兰州数据后，该指数在578头的供给量下均价达到508澳分/千克活重，这反映出昆士兰州以南地区货源紧缺。
育肥公牛指数下跌4%，报484澳分/千克活重，上市量6627头。南部新南威尔士州依旧存在明显溢价，2984头货源均价528澳分/千克活重；昆士兰州供给量相近，为2989头，均价仅443澳分/千克活重。
绵羊市场
绵羊市场行情分化。补栏羔羊指数下跌3%，其余全部指数均上涨，其中轻量羔羊指数涨幅最大，上涨4%，至1087澳分/千克胴体重量。
全国羔羊上市量下降10%，至121036头；全国绵羊上市量下降40%，至36383头。沃加市场报告提到，货源产区遭遇强降雨，对拍卖数量造成显著影响（约28900头，较上周拍卖减少11000头）。货源缩减带动所有品类市场行情走强。
美利奴羔羊指数周度上涨4%，报1082澳分/千克胴重，上市17927头。全国约33%的货源来自新南威尔士州中西部的福布斯与达博，均价1130澳分/千克胴重。
母羊肉指数本周基本持平，小幅上涨0.2%，报819澳分/千克胴重，上市23528头；货源分布于各个州：新南威尔士州占55%，维多利亚州占22%，西澳占18%。

Weekly cattle and sheep market wrap
Key points
A reduced cattle yarding brought mixed results across the indicators.
Restocker-focused lines dropped in sheep markets despite rain.
Slaughter lifted across cattle, lamb and sheep as processors resumed operations.
This week delivered rain for much of southern Australia including WA, SA, NSW and Victoria, however soil moisture levels remain low in south-western WA and are below average in northern NSW and large parts of Queensland.
Livestock markets delivered mixed results. Reduced cattle yardings led to varied price movements, while restocker demand softened in sheep markets. Meanwhile, processor activity increased, lifting slaughter rates across cattle, lamb and sheep.
Cattle market
The national cattle yarding dropped 24% over the week to 51,057 head. Results were mixed across the indicators, with processor and export-focused lines declining the most.
Meanwhile, restocker-focused lines lifted, with the Restocker Yearling Steer Indicator recording the highest increase at 1% (471¢/kg liveweight (lwt) across an offering of 3,848 head). However, when removing Queensland – which made up 85% of supply – the indicator averaged 508¢/kg lwt across 578 head. This gives insight into the lack of supply south of Queensland.
The Feeder Steer Indicator dropped 4% to 484¢/kg lwt across 6,627 head offered. Significant price premiums were again found south in NSW, averaging 528¢/kg lwt across 2,984 head, while Queensland averaged 443¢/kg lwt across a similar supply of 2,989 head.
Sheep market
There were mixed results across sheep markets. The Restocker Lamb Indicator dropped 3%, while all other indicators lifted, with Light Lamb Indicator rising the most – a 4% increase to 1,087¢/kg carcase weight (cwt).
The national lamb yarding fell 10% to 121,036 head while the national sheep yarding fell 40% to 36,383 head. The Wagga market report noted that heavy rain in the supply region had a significant impact on sale numbers (approximately 28,900 head, down 11,00 head on the previous week’s sale). This reduced supply and drove a stronger market across all categories.
The Merino Lamb Indicator lifted 4% over the week to 1,082¢/kg cwt across an offering of 17,927 head. About 33% of national supply came from central-west NSW through Forbes and Dubbo, averaging 1,130¢/kg cwt.
The Mutton Indicator remained stable over the week, lifting 0.2% to 819¢/kg cwt across an offering of 23,528 head, with supply spread across the states: NSW at 55%, Victoria at 22% and WA at 18% of supply.
