核心要点
澳大利亚大范围地区持续降雨，促使养殖户选择留存牲畜。
加工牛价格指数持续创下新高。
肉牛屠宰量有所下降，主要原因是昆士兰州加工厂可收购的牛源供给减少。
澳大利亚多地持续降雨，所有州均有降水。新州中西部、西澳西南部雨量偏少且分布零散。
市场表现与上周相近，降雨促使养殖户压栏惜售。小牛与羔羊上栏量减少，供给收紧，带动行情指标走高。
肉牛市场
全国肉牛上栏量环比下降8%，至52233头。持续充沛的降雨改善饲草条件，养殖户选择压栏留牛。
本周所有肉牛品类行情指数全部上涨，涨幅区间为：育肥小母牛指数上涨1%，补栏一岁母牛指数上涨5%。昆州近一个月上栏量大幅回落，从9月的116873头降至10月的62933头。
加工母牛指数再创新高，达到活重407澳分/公斤。罗马牲畜交易市场的牛源占该指数统计样本的10%，市场报告称本次上市优质母牛品相出众。
育肥阉牛指数本周上涨3.6%，报活重547澳分/公斤，统计样本共6559头。该指数近一个月累计上涨11%，新州北部交易市场报价表现最强。
补栏一岁母牛指数创下所有肉牛指数中最大月度涨幅，上涨20%，报活重494澳分/公斤。供给收紧是主要原因：10月纳入该指数统计的牛只数量为13945头，9月为19413头。
绵羊市场
全国羔羊上栏量本周下降8%，至52233头；绵羊上栏量保持平稳，小幅上涨0.8%，达到84746头。除美利奴羔羊指数下跌0.8%至胴体重1089澳分/公斤外，其余所有品类指数均走高。
重羔羊指数本周上涨2.6%，报胴体重1159澳分/公斤，统计样本23190头。沃加沃加市场供货量占全国的33%，均价1175澳分/公斤。巴拉腊特与霍舍姆市场报价最优，两地均价均突破1200澳分/公斤。
补栏羔羊指数本周上涨2%，报胴体重1218澳分/公斤，统计样本32268头，该指数近一个月累计上涨10%。
新州牲畜市场反馈羔羊膘情品质参差不齐：沃加沃加表示，本季新羔羊当中相当一部分新鲜度欠佳，而亚斯市场的羔羊膘情状况良好。

Weekly cattle and sheep market wrap
Key points
Rainfall continued across large parts of the country, encouraging producers to retain stock.
The Processor Cow Indicator continued to set new records.
Cattle slaughter declined, led by reduced stock access and availability for Queensland processors.
Rainfall continued across large parts of the country, with every state recording falls. Rain was lighter and more scattered across central and western NSW and south-west WA.
The market response was similar to last week with rainfall encouraging producers to retain stock. Smaller cattle and lamb yardings tightened supply and drove indicators higher.
Cattle market
The national cattle yarding declined 8% week-on-week to 52,233 head as producers continued to receive significant rainfall, which boosted feedbases and encouraged stock retention.
All cattle indicators lifted over the week with gains ranging from 1% for the Feeder Heifer Indicator to 5% for the Restocker Yearling Heifer Indicator. Queensland yardings have fallen significantly over the last month from 116,873 head in September to 62,933 head in October.
The Processor Cow Indicator moved further into record territory reaching 407¢/kg liveweight (lwt). Roma Saleyards accounted for 10% of cattle contributing to the indicator with the market report noting excellent quality across the prime cow offering.
The Feeder Steer Indicator lifted 3.6% over the week to 547¢/kg liveweight, across an offering of 6,559 head. The indicator has lifted 11% over the last month with northern NSW saleyards recording the strongest prices.
The Restocker Yearling Heifer Indicator recorded the strongest monthly increase of any cattle indicator, lifting 20% to 494¢/kg lwt. Tighter supply has been a major factor with 13,945 head contributing to the indicator in October, compared with 19,413 head in September.
Sheep market
The national lamb yarding dropped 8% over the week to 52,233 head, while the sheep yarding remained stable (lifting 0.8%) to 84,746 head. All indicators lifted except for the Merino Lamb Indicator, dropping 0.8% to 1,089¢/kg carcase weight (cwt).
The Heavy Lamb Indicator lifted 2.6% over the week to 1,159¢/kg cwt across an offering of 23,190 head. Wagga Wagga accounted for 33% of the national offering and averaged 1,175¢/kg cwt. The strongest prices were recorded at Ballarat and Horsham where both markets averaged more than 1,200¢/kg cwt.
The Restocker Lamb Indicator lifted 2% over the week to 1,218¢/kg cwt across an offering of 32,268 head. The indicator has climbed 10% over the past month.
NSW saleyard reports noted mixed quality and condition. Wagga Wagga reported a lack of freshness across a large proportion of its new-season lamb offering, while Yass noted good condition.

Week ending 23 October 2026
