核心要点
全国大部迎来大范围降雨，利好畜禽行情，牛羊品类报价近乎全线走高。

肉牛屠宰量依旧处于历史高位。
国内大范围区域降雨改善饲草储备，带动牛羊多数品类市价上行。
本轮降水扭转牧场养殖环境，尽管冬季干旱隐患仍存，但养殖户心态由悲观转为乐观，越冬饲养条件得到改善。羔羊与肉羊货源紧缺仍是高价核心支撑，降雨进一步拉动市场采购需求。
肉牛市场
全国肉牛上市量环比下滑 6% 至 67931 头。上市量缩减叠加及时降雨，多数牛价指数走高，仅重型阉牛指数下跌 1%，活重成交价 452 澳分 / 公斤。全国犊牛指数周度上涨 4%，活重 522 澳分 / 公斤。
育肥母牛上市 5015 头，指数上涨 5%，活重 481 澳分 / 公斤。入冬首周货源开始收紧，支撑行情抬升。
补栏周岁阉牛上市 4742 头，涨幅领跑全品类，指数大涨 5.3% 至活重 540 澳分 / 公斤。罗马市场货源占比 48%，活重均价 542 澳分 / 公斤，略高于全国均价。
绵羊市场
全国羔羊上市量环比下滑 19% 至 118967 头，成年肉羊上市量回落 24% 至 46475 头。西澳因公共假日及东南部极端天气，卡坦宁、穆奇亚两地仅上市羔羊 9406 头、肉羊 5824 头，货源大幅缩水。除美利奴羔羊指数持平于胴体 1111 澳分 / 公斤（较上月上涨 8%）外，其余品类报价全数上行；达博市场反馈，即便部分常规采购商缺席，市场行情依旧走强。
成年肉羊上市 34494 头，胴体价指数升至 857 澳分 / 公斤，刷新历史纪录，此前 4 月最高纪录为 837 澳分 / 公斤。入冬后养殖户留存繁育母羊、屠宰厂争抢货源，推动肉用成年羊价格创新高。
大体重羔羊上市 24313 头，指数周涨 1%，胴体价 1132 澳分 / 公斤；新南威尔士州货源占总量 63%，成交价更优，胴体均价 1148 澳分 / 公斤。维多利亚市场消息称，当地经补饲出栏的羔羊膘情出众。

Weekly cattle and sheep market wrap
Key points
Significant rain across most of the country had a positive impact on markets, lifting almost all indicators across sheep and cattle.
The Mutton Indicator broke a record at 858¢/kg cwt.
Cattle slaughter remains historically elevated.
Rainfall across significant parts of the country has boosted most market indicators as both cattle and sheep regions receive helpful boosts to feedbases.
Recent rainfall has shifted on-farm conditions, turning what had been difficult circumstances – and a still-present outlook for a dry winter – from a clearly negative sentiment to a more positive one, as producers now have workable conditions heading into winter. While limited supply (especially in lamb and sheep) is still a big factor in high prices, the rain has stoked demand.
Cattle market
The national cattle yarding fell 6% to 67,931 head. The smaller yarding and timely rain pushed most indicators higher. The Heavy Steer Indicator was the only one to fall, decreasing 1% to sit at 452¢/kg liveweight (lwt). The National Young Cattle Indicator (NYCI) lifted 4% over the week to reach 522¢/kg lwt.
The Feeder Heifer Indicator lifted 5% to 481¢/kg lwt across an offering of 5,015 head. Supply has started to retract for the first week of winter and brought an increased price.
The Restocker Yearling Steer Indicator had the biggest increase over the week, lifting 5.3% to 540¢/kg lwt across an offering of 4,742 head. Roma made up 48% of the yarding and the price sat just above the national aggregate at 542¢/kg lwt.
Sheep market
The national lamb yarding fell 19% to 118,967 head and the national sheep yarding fell 24% to 46,475. The yarding in WA was especially low, offering 9,406 lambs and 5,824 sheep across Katanning and Muchea due to the state public holiday and a severe weather event through the south-east. All market indicators lifted, except for the Merino Lamb Indicator which remained flat at 1,111¢/kg carcase weight (cwt), representing an 8% lift on month ago levels. The Dubbo report noted a stronger market despite several usual buyers not operating.
The Mutton Indicator broke a record, reaching 857¢/kg cwt across an offering of 34,494 head. The previous record set in April was 837¢/kg cwt. The record comes as processors remain in competition for mutton while producers retain breeding stock as winter sets in.
The Heavy Lamb Indicator lifted 1% over the week to 1,132¢/kg cwt across an offering of 24,313 head. NSW saleyards made a premium at 1,148¢/kg cwt, making up 63% of the offering. Market reports in Victoria consistently noted the excellent condition of lambs coming off supplementary feeding.
Slaughter
Week ending 29 May 2026
（1）Cattle
National cattle slaughter dropped 2% week-on-week to 163,245 head. May monthly export data released this week showed a slight reduction in beef to China as the safeguard quota approaches. However, South Korean exports lifted, taking up the reduction. Slaughter remains historically elevated.
