降雨与羊毛价格左右绵羊品类价格指数

美利奴羔羊指数上涨，延续了过去一个月绵羊市场的走势。澳大利亚多地迎来意外降雨，改变了冬季或将持续干旱的中期预判，养殖户市场信心有所提升。

本月其他多项指数也出现明显上涨：羊肉指数月涨幅达9%，报864澳分/公斤胴体重，刷新近期纪录；交易羔羊指数上涨8%，至1220澳分/公斤胴体重。

美利奴羔羊指数大幅上涨并非仅受天气影响，去年9月以来羊毛价格猛涨也是重要因素。而市场整体羔羊供应量偏低，仍是推高集市美利奴羔羊售价的最主要原因。

对比2019年以来历年年初至第24周的市场出栏均值，2026年重体羔羊出栏量达1152851头，较历年均值1060023头高出9%。同期美利奴羔羊出栏量为 342842头，较历年均值470151头减少27%。

羊毛价格回升让美利奴羔羊重新具备一定溢价，当前加工企业因货源趋紧展开收购竞争，其价格走势主要受加工端需求影响。本年度美利奴羔羊出栏量下滑，源于养殖户选择留养，这也推高了各类绵羊产品价格指数。

澳大利亚肉类及畜牧业协会最新发布的养殖户意向调查，将成为研判不同品种养殖留养动向的重要依据。

Key points

• Rising wool prices have created retention decisions for many wool producers, causing a compounding effect on the price of all sheep indicators.

• The Merino Lamb Indicator broke its daily record this week at 1,140¢/kg carcase weight (cwt).

On Tuesday 9 June, the Merino Lamb Indicator reached a daily record of 1,140¢/kg (cwt). On 10 June, the average price on a $/head basis was $260 across an offering of 8,255 head.

Rain and wool prices influence sheep indicators

The lift in the Merino Lamb Indicator follows sheep market trends seen over the last month. Unexpected rain throughout large parts of the country has caused producer sentiment to rise against the medium-term forecast of a dry winter.

Some of the other standout indicator lifts this month have come from the Mutton Indicator, which lifted 9% over the month to 864¢/kg cwt, breaking its recent record. The Trade Lamb Indicator also lifted 8% to reach 1,220¢/kg cwt.

The sharp lift in the Merino Lamb Indicator has more nuance than weather alone, including influence from a sharp lift in wool prices since September last year. Low overall lamb supply remains the largest contributor to Merino lamb prices at the saleyard.

Merino lamb vs heavy lamb

When comparing the Merino Lamb and Heavy Lamb indicators since 2019, the indicator values had separated with a clear premium for Heavy Lambs evident since August 2021, which is now being closed in on by the Merino Lamb Indicator against the tightening supply of Merino lambs in 2026.

When looking at the average yarding year-to-date (YTD) (first to 24th week of each year) since 2019, the heavy lamb yarding in 2026 is 9% above average, with a YTD yarding of 1,152,851 head against an average of 1,060,023 head since 2019. The Merino lamb yarding is 27% below the average for this time of year, with a total offering of 342,842 head in 2026 against an average of 470,151 head since 2019.

While the wool price has returned some premium value to Merino lambs, the pricing is still largely tracking processor-focused lines as processors continue competing for a tightening supply. The retraction in supply of Merino lambs so far this year is due to retention decisions made by wool producers and has had an impact on lifting all sheep indicators.

Results from Meat & Livestock Australia’s current Sheep Producer Intentions survey will provide a key source of information for understanding the different retention decisions of producers across different breeds.
