Australia sheep slaughter index shows mixed regional supply

sheep slaughter index mutton prices agricultural supply livestock processing Australian agriculture

The September Sheep and Lamb Slaughter Index indicates a mixed supply landscape across Australia, with no evidence of a broad national spring surge in slaughter. While sheep and lamb prices have fallen across most processor categories over the last four weeks, throughput varies significantly by state.

Western Australia saw the most substantial improvement, with its slaughter index rising from 26% in August to 41% in September. South Australia also experienced growth, increasing from 39% to 45%. In contrast, New South Wales saw a tightening of supply, with the index dropping from 25% to 18%. Tasmania and Queensland also saw increases, while Victoria remained relatively steady.

Despite these regional variations, mutton prices have continued to retreat from the high levels seen during the winter. The Mutton Indicator fell by approximately 69c over the past four weeks, reaching about 798c/kg cwt.
