Muchea Sheep Report 14/04/2026
Yarding 14956 /sheep 3606/ lambs 11350
Numbers jumped substantially by 11000 head at Muchea today from the last trade sale before the Easter break. This was due to an influx of trade and heavy lamb supplies while older sheep numbers remained at a similar throughput. The buying gallery was filled with most local regulars while the fuel prices of late haven’t deterred interest from eastern states buyers. Store lambs lifted $10/12 while light and trade lambs recorded equal values and heavy lambs also gained $12 with well presented lots on offer. Boning grade mutton eased $8/10 while heavier ewes recorded equal values.
Rough skinned store lambs started from $50 up to $209 for better types while light lambs were making $170 to $228/head. Trade lambs returned $210 to $242 while heavy lambs made $240 to $275 and extra heavy lambs with a cwt more than 26kg sold from $280 to $340/head.
Merino wether hoggets sold from $120 to $220 depending on condition while Merino ewe hoggets were making $130 to $240 with a skin. Crossbred hoggets returned $209 to $240 and younger rams sold to a top of $270/head.
Boning ewes were making $127 to $171 while medium weights returned $170 to $230 and heavy ewes sold from $220 to $280/head. Heavy wethers ranged from $181 to $279 while mature rams sold from $80 to $257/head.

MUCHEA CATTLE REPORT 13/04/2026
855 liveweight and 0 veal / Total 855
It was a light yarding following the Easter break with weaners making up a large percentage of the sale as more and more light weight calves well under 200kg’s are being sold in the trade sale instead of a separate calf sale. Trade weight steers and heifers, as well as cow and bull supplies were more conservative. With a full buyers gallery operating the cow market gained 10c as did heavy bulls while lighter weight bulls remained equal. Trade steers and heifers also lifted 10c while yearlings and weaners remained firm with the exception of weaner heifers gaining 8/10c/kg.
Local weaner steers were selling from 340c to 552c while weaner heifers returned 284c to 472c/kg. Yearling steers were scarce and sold from 384c to 444c while yearling heifers were also few in supply and were making 328c to 428c/kg. There were very few pastoral steer calves yarded and sold to a top of 320c while pastoral heifers ranged from 280c up to 340c/kg.
Grown steers returned from 340c to 396c while grown heifers ranged from 294c to 420c/kg.
Store cows sold from 224c to 308c, Medium weight cows returned 310c to 350c and heavy cows sold to a top of 366c/kg.
Young bulls sold from 290c to 348c as live exporters were only bidding on light weights while heavy bulls ranged from 268c to 352c/kg.

Looking ahead: what WAMIA’s new Strategic Plan means for Muchea Livestock Centre
WAMIA has released its Strategic Plan 2026–2030, setting the direction for how we will continue to support the WA meat and livestock industry over the next five years, including the ongoing development and operation of the Muchea Livestock Centre (MLC).
For MLC, the Plan reinforces a strong focus on:
✅ High standards of animal welfare, biosecurity and workplace safety
✅ Maintaining and improving facilities to meet industry needs
✅ Reviewing service delivery models to support long‑term sustainability
✅ Monitoring fees, charges and operating costs
✅ Exploring opportunities to improve efficiency and asset utilisation
MLC plays a critical role as a high‑quality, independent livestock selling and transit facility for industry, and this Strategic Plan provides a clear framework to guide future decisions and improvements.
Implementation will occur through annual operational planning and ongoing engagement with users and stakeholders.
📄 You can view the full Strategic Plan on the WAMIA website: wamia.wa.gov.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/WAMIA_Strategic_Plan_2026-2030_v3.pdf
Thank you to everyone who works with and supports the Muchea Livestock Centre. We look forward to continuing to work with you as we deliver on this plan.
