核心要点
育肥公牛指标价较上周上涨22澳分。
牛只上市量持续走低，跌至今年2月以来最低水平。
维多利亚州羔羊屠宰量周环比增加28000头。
本周牛只上市量下降，带动绝大多数指标价格走高，青年牛上市量跌至5月以来低位。受维多利亚州屠宰加工量攀升推动，羔羊屠宰量大幅上涨。
肉牛市场
受拍卖市场上市量减少影响，本周几乎所有肉牛指标价格均走高，全国青年牛上市量跌至2026年5月以来最低。
育肥公牛指标价周环比上涨22澳分/千克活重，报506澳分/千克活重，较去年同期高出9%。
全国青年牛指标价上涨6澳分/千克活重，报480澳分/千克胴体重，同比上涨4%。
重公牛指标价同样走高，周环比上涨12澳分/千克活重，本次上涨主要源于货源供给极度紧缺。
罗马拍卖市场的牛只占该指标统计样本的33%。罗马市场报告显示，来自南部的采购商参与度有所提升，表明尽管上市量缩减，但得益于利好的气候条件，南部地区对牛只的需求依旧旺盛。
牛只上市量连续第四周下滑，总计51468头，为今年2月以来最低。查特斯陶尔斯与达尔比市场上市量分别减少1173头、1032头。莫特莱克、沃加沃加等南部市场上市量分别增加1923头、1260头。

多数绵羊市场指标周度走势保持坚挺，小幅回落。

重羔羊指标价1099澳分/千克胴体重，同比下跌2%。
绵羊上市量周环比小幅回升，羔羊、绵羊上市量分别为149760头、49393头。上市量涨幅居前的市场为达博、本迪戈、沃加沃加、福布斯以及亚斯。仅有沃里克、穆切阿两处拍卖市场周度上市量出现下降。

Weekly cattle and sheep market wrap
Key points
The Feeder Steer Indicator lifted 22¢ compared to week-ago levels.
Cattle yardings continue to fall, hitting their lowest since February this year.
Victorian lamb slaughter lifted by 28,000 head week-on-week.
Lower cattle yardings supported increases across most indicators this week, with young cattle throughput reaching its lowest level since May. Lamb slaughter increased significantly, led by a rise in Victorian processing numbers.
Cattle market
Nearly all cattle indicators tipped higher this week on the back of reduced saleyard throughput. Yardings of young cattle across the country were the lowest since May 2026.
The Feeder Steer Indicator lifted 22¢/kg liveweight (lwt) week-on-week, sitting 9% higher than year ago levels at 506¢/kg lwt.
The National Young Cattle Indicator (NYCI) increased by 6¢/kg lwt, sitting 4% higher than year-ago levels at 480¢/kg carcase weight (cwt).
The Heavy Steer Indicator also recorded a lift, rising 12¢/kg lwt week-on-week, although the increase was underpinned by very low supply.
Cattle from Roma saleyards accounted for 33% of the indicator. The Roma market report noted increased buying activity from additional southern buyers, signalling ongoing demand for cattle in southern regions amid favourable seasonal conditions despite a reduced yarding.
Cattle yardings continued to fall for the fourth consecutive week, totalling 51,468 head (the lowest since February this year). Charters Towers and Dalby recorded declines of 1,173 and 1,032 respectively. Southern yards such as Mortlake and Wagga Wagga lifted 1,923 and 1,260 respectively.
Sheep market
Most sheep indicators remained firm to slightly down week-on-week.
The Restocker Lamb Indicator achieved 1,095 c/kg cwt, up 7% on year-ago levels.
The Trade Lamb Indicator achieved 1,158 c/kg cwt, up 2% on year-ago levels.
The Heavy Lamb Indicator achieved 1,099c/kg cwt, down 2% on year-ago levels.
Sheep yardings lifted slightly week-on-week with lambs and sheep achieving 149,760 and 49,393 head respectively. Yards that recorded the largest increases were Dubbo, Bendigo, Wagga, Forbes and Yass. Only two saleyards – Warwick and Muchea – recorded decreases week-on-week.
