核心要点
该国大部分地区出现小雨。
肉牛指数继续上行，但加工厂收购品类涨幅趋于停滞。
加工厂牛源供给紧张，肉牛屠宰量有所下滑。
本周该国大部分地区持续降雨，昆士兰州中部、新南威尔士州东北部以及维多利亚州降雨量达10–25毫米。肉牛上栏量大幅回升，绵羊与羔羊上栏数量有所回落。
肉牛市场
本周全国肉牛上栏量上涨21%，至63915头，新南威尔士州（+38%）与昆士兰州（+27%）上栏数量大幅回升。
所有肉牛指数再度走高，不过面向加工厂的品类涨幅有所放缓。育肥小母牛指数涨幅最小，仅上升0.3%；补栏一岁阉牛指数延续强劲涨势，周环比上涨6%。
重阉牛指数保持坚挺，小幅上涨0.4%，至487.5澳分/公斤活重，再度刷新纪录；该品类供给持续紧缺，本周纳入该指数统计的牛只仅1546头。
补栏一岁阉牛指数大幅走高，周环比上涨6%，报613澳分/公斤活重，本次挂牌量为4064头。该指数近一个月累计上涨20%。昆士兰州货源占本次挂牌总量的71%，成交均价628澳分/公斤活重。
绵羊市场
全国羔羊上栏量周环比下降3%，至191642头；绵羊上栏量下滑18%，至73696头。除母羊肉指数小幅上涨1澳分、均价859澳分/公斤胴重外，其余所有市场指数全线走弱。
轻羔羊指数本周跌幅最大，下跌5.5%，报1108澳分/公斤胴重，对应挂牌量13057头。尽管行情走弱，纳拉库特市场成交价最高，达到1229澳分/公斤胴重，该市场货源占总挂牌量的5%。
美利奴羔羊指数同样承压，周环比下跌3.8%，挂牌量10575头，报1058澳分/公斤胴重（原文数字疑似笔误）。值得注意的是，它仍是唯一低于四周前水平的指数。福布斯市场拍出本周最高价1146澳分/公斤胴重，该市场挂牌量在上报交易市场中位居第二，对价格形成支撑。
据报道，沃加沃加市场羔羊品质参差不齐，但行情保持坚挺，大型育肥场采购方托底，稳固价格底线。巴拉腊特市场羔羊品质较上一轮有所提升，不过货源以补栏羔羊为主。福布斯市场上栏数量小幅增加，整体品质与近期水平持平。

Weekly cattle and sheep market wrap
Key points
Light rain reached large parts of the country.
Cattle indicators continued to rise, though gains in processor-focused lines settled.
Cattle slaughter declined as processor supply remained tight.
Rain continued for large parts of the country this week, with central Queensland, north-east NSW and Victoria receiving falls from 10–25mm. The cattle yarding returned strongly while sheep and lamb numbers retracted.
Cattle market
The national cattle yarding lifted 21% this week to 63,915 head as NSW (up 38%) and Queensland (up 27%) numbers returned strongly.
All cattle indicators lifted again, though gains in processor-focused lines moderated. The Feeder Heifer Indicator had the smallest gain, lifting 0.3% while the Restocker Yearling Steer Indicator continued to rise sharply, lifting 6% over the week.
The Heavy Steer Indicator remained firm, lifting just 0.4% to 487.5¢/kg liveweight (lwt), reaching new records again as the supply coming through remains very restricted with just 1,546 head making up the indicator this week.
The Restocker Yearling Steer Indicator continued its sharp rise, lifting 6% over the week to 613¢/kg lwt, across an offering of 4,064 head. The indicator is up 20% over the last month. Queensland yards formed 71% of the offering and made 628¢/kg lwt.
Sheep market
National lamb yardings declined by 3% week-on-week (wow) to 191,642 head, while sheep yardings fell 18% to 73,696 head. Market indicators weakened across the board, with the exception of the mutton indicator, which rose marginally by 1¢ to average 859¢/kg carcase weight (cwt).
The Light Lamb Indicator recorded the largest decline of the week, falling 5.5% to 1,108¢/kg cwt across an offering of 13,057 head. Despite the softer market, the strongest prices were achieved at Naracoorte, 1,229¢/kg cwt which made up 5% of the total offering.
The Merino Lamb Indicator also came under pressure, declining 3.8% wow to 1,0589¢/kg cwt from an offering of 10,575 head. Notably, it remains the only indicator trading below its level of four weeks ago. Forbes recorded the highest price of the week at 1,146¢/kg cwt, supported by the second-largest offering among reporting saleyards.
Lamb quality at the Wagga saleyards was reported as mixed; however, the market remained firm, supported by a major feedlot buyer that helped establish a solid price floor. At Ballarat, quality improved compared to previous sales, although the majority of the offering consisted of store lambs. Meanwhile, numbers increased slightly at Forbes, with overall quality remaining in line with recent yardings.
