MUCHEA CATTLE REPORT 22/04/2024
Total Yarding 680
Supplies were similar to last week with numbers just under 700. Cow and steer volumes were around the same however bull supplies almost halved while heifer numbers doubled. Quality was mixed ranging from very well-presented bodies down to very plain calves proving once again hard to sell with very few restockers in the buying field and the ones that were there showing little interest.
Calves once again lacking weight and condition sold for minimal values however with condition vealer steers ranged from 120c to 274c remaining equal while lighter vealer heifers showing condition made 120c to 236c and demand for heavier heifers lifted 50/60c starting at 180c up to some grain assisted heifers realizing 306c/kg. The breeding component saw a gain of 10/20c on yearling steers selling from 200c to 302c across all weight categories. Yearling heifers under 330kg sold from 100c to 194c and heavier heifers also gained ground lifting around 50c/kg selling from 180c to 306c/kg.
Grown steers were equal ranging from 180c to 222c while grown heifers also firm making 158c to 216c/kg. Light cows returned 50c to 128c, medium cows 138c to 180c and prime heavy cows realized 198c gaining 10c/kg.
Light bulls lacking condition sold very cheaply while when in export condition returned 120c to 228c and mature bulls were still holding up well ranging from 158c to 218c/kg.

Many parts of Western Australia are experiencing severe dry conditions at the moment. The Muchea Livestock Centre (MLC) has not been exempt from the impacts of the current conditions.
Due to the lack of rainfall since the beginning of summer, the water levels in the MLC dams are now at critical levels and WAMIA has commenced supplementing its water from external sources.
WAMIA is conscious of the needs of the community and industry as a result of this season. Therefore, WAMIA will be prioritising the use of water in MLC for operational continuity and biosecurity risk mitigation.
From 11:00am Wednesday 1 May 2024, the truck wash facility will be closed and only open from 9:00am Sundays to 11:00am Wednesdays until further notice. This decision was made to balance the need for precious water resources with the need to mitigate the biosecurity risks associated with livestock transport.
Outside the opening times, the truck wash facility is only available for use through advanced booking with WAMIA. Please call 0413 752 262 between 6:00am to 6:00pm to request for approval to use the truck wash outside the opening times.
The use of the truck wash outside the opening times will need to be approved by WAMIA. If approved, a WAMIA employee will provide the date and time for the use of the facility. Approval will be subject to water availability.
We appreciate your understanding of our situation. If you have any questions, please email us at wamia@wamia.wa.gov.au or ring the Administration Office at 9571 0013.
