Yarding 9,398 / sheep 2,099/ lambs 7,299
Lamb supplies were again around the 7000 mark while sheep numbers fell away by 1500 head. Similar to last week there were good runs of finished heavy lambs off feed and several lanes of trade weights as well as many large drafts of Merino store lambs.

Heavy Mutton also gained momentum with slight gains on lighter ewes while heavy ewes lifted by $10/15.
Store lambs started from $90 up to $213 while light lambs made $180 to $236/head. Trade weights returned $210 to $247 while heavy lambs sold from $250 to $303 and like last week there was a single extra heavy lamb that realized $340. Ram lambs were also selling well with heavy weights making $230 to $301/head.
Store Merino wether hoggets started from $120 up to $210 with improvement and the same for light Merino ewe hoggets starting from $146 up to $255 with weight. Finished Crossbred hoggets returned $201 to $268 and younger rams sold to a top of $262/head.
Boning ewes were making $127 to $185 while medium weights returned $180 to $230 and heavy ewes sold to a top of $260/head. Heavy wethers ranged from $202 to $239 while mature rams sold from $50 to $150/head.

🌏 International visitors at Muchea Livestock Centre this week 🐑🐄
WAMIA was pleased to host prospective sheep meat and beef buyers from B&L Group Jiangsu, China at the Muchea Livestock Centre as part of a broader trade engagement program led by the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD).
The delegation visited the sheep auction during a period of strong market conditions and received an on‑site overview of WA’s red meat supply chain. The visit provided an opportunity to showcase Western Australia’s world‑class biosecurity systems, sheep eID implementation and high animal welfare standards. All are key foundations underpinning global confidence in our export supply chains.
Earlier in the week, WAMIA also welcomed the DPIRD Agribusiness, Food and Trade team to Muchea for the cattle auction, reinforcing the strong collaboration across government in promoting WA’s red meat credentials globally and supporting efficiency in the meat and livestock supply chain.

It was a light sale today which is usually expected for this time of the year. Trade weight steers and heifers were very light in supply while there are still some handy lines of weaner types coming through, however pastoral cattle made up a larger percentage of the sale.

Local weaner steers were selling from 320c to 530c while weaner heifers ranged from 248c to 442c/kg. The limited number of local yearling steers returned 398c to 430c and yearling heifers generally showing more cover were selling from 332c to 452c/kg. Pastoral steer calves were presented in store condition and sold from 196c to 286c while pastoral heifers had more fat cover selling from 240c up to 404c/kg.
