核心要点
本周，澳大利亚各地的零星降雨提振了牛、羊补栏市场。
受公共假期影响，多场拍卖交易中断，牛羊上市量大幅下降。
部分州结束假期、恢复满负荷生产，牛、羔羊与成年母羊屠宰量有所上升。
十月长周末导致本周牛、羔羊和绵羊上市量减少。
福贝斯、沃加沃加的肉牛拍卖会取消，塔姆沃思拍卖会改期至10月9日。达博与科罗瓦市场的绵羊拍卖同样取消。
澳大利亚大部分地区出现降雨。维多利亚州与新南威尔士州东南部雨量充沛；南澳、新州北部以及昆士兰州东南部降雨分布不均，但这场雨正是当地急需的。
降雨明显提振牛羊补栏市场，采购商信心与采购需求同步增强。
肉牛市场
全国牛只本周上市量下降24%，至48110头。上市规模缩减，各牛只行情指标表现分化。
育肥阉公牛指标跌幅最大，小幅回落0.7%；一岁补栏阉公牛指标涨幅领跑。
尽管可供交易的牛只仅3766头，供给大幅减少，一岁补栏阉公牛指标本周仍上涨2.5%，达到519澳分/公斤活重。
受公共假期影响部分拍卖会停办，加之主产区零星降雨，养殖户选择留存牛只，纳入该指标统计的牛只数量较前一周下降47%。
育肥母牛犊指标上涨1%，至445澳分/公斤活重，可供交易牛只3955头，其中昆士兰州、新南威尔士州分别占总供给量的40%和39%。
该指标本周虽保持相对平稳，但近一个月仍下跌6%。
绵羊市场
受长周末影响，全国羔羊上市量本周下降15.6%，至132260头；绵羊上市量下滑14%，至54024头。
上市量缩减背景下，绵羊与羔羊行情指标大幅反弹，多数指标上涨5%。
全国商品羔羊指标上涨5%，至1153澳分/公斤胴体重，可供交易数量36401头。
巴拉腊特市场溢价显著，均价达1226澳分/公斤胴体重，市场报告指出，新产季羔羊供应在整个春季持续增加。
成年母羊指标涨幅最小，环比上升3%，均价829澳分/公斤胴体重，可供交易数量37865头。
福贝斯拍卖市场均价902澳分/公斤胴体重，占全国总供给量的18%。

Weekly cattle and sheep market wrap
Key points
Scattered rainfall across the country boosted both cattle and lamb restocker markets this week.
Cattle and sheep yardings were heavily reduced with public holidays disrupting several sales.
Cattle, lamb and mutton slaughter increased as some states returned to full processing weeks following public holidays.
The October long weekend contributed to reduced cattle, lamb and sheep yardings this week.
Cattle sales at Forbes and Wagga Wagga were cancelled with Tamworth rescheduled for 9 October. Sheep sales at Dubbo and Corowa yards were also cancelled.
Rainfall was recorded across much of the country. Victoria and south-eastern NSW received healthy falls, while SA, northern NSW and south-eastern Queensland recorded patchier, but much-needed rain.
The rainfall provided a noticeable lift to cattle and sheep restocker markets, strengthening buyer confidence and demand.
Cattle market
The national cattle yarding fell 24% across the week to 48,110 head. The smaller yarding produced mixed results across cattle indicators.
The Feeder Steer Indicator recorded the largest decline, easing 0.7%, while the Restocker Yearling Steer Indicator posted the strongest gain.
The Restocker Yearling Steer Indicator lifted 2.5% over the week to 519¢/kg liveweight (lwt) despite a much smaller offering of 3,766 head.
The number of cattle contributing to the indicator fell 47% from the previous week, as the public holidays impacted some sales and scattered rainfall across key supply regions encouraged producers to retain stock.
The Feeder Heifer Indicator lifted 1% to 445¢/kg lwt across a smaller offering of 3,955 head with Queensland and NSW making up 40% and 39% of the total offering respectively.
Despite holding relatively steady this week, the indicator remains 6% lower over the past month.
Sheep market
National lamb yardings fell 15.6% over the week to 132,260 head, while sheep yardings declined 14% to 54,024 head, with impacts from the long weekend.
Across the smaller yarding, sheep and lamb indicators rebounded strongly with most indicators rising by 5%.
The National Trade Lamb Indicator lifted 5% to 1,153¢/kg carcase weight (cwt) across an offering of 36,401 head.
Ballarat attracted a significant premium, averaging 1,226¢/kg cwt with the market report noting that supplies of new-season lambs continue to build throughout spring.
The Mutton Indicator recorded the smallest gain, rising 3% week-on-week (WoW) to average 829¢/kg cwt across an offering of 37,865 head.
Forbes saleyard averaged 902¢/kg cwt and accounted for 18% of the national offering.
WA and SA averaged 656¢/kg cwt and 773¢/kg cwt respectively and are the only states where prices remain below year-ago levels.
Slaughter
Week ending 9 October 2026
（1）Cattle
National cattle slaughter numbers increased 2.7% week-on-week (WoW) to 146,566 head.
