Final Report

Drying conditions across parts of northern NSW are driving heavy cattle turn off, pushing yardings at key saleyards to record levels and contributing to elevated state wide throughput early in 2026.

Markets resumed with a full week of sales, resulting in a strong cattle yarding – the largest of the year so far. Sheep yarding numbers were also strong, with mixed results across the indicators. Weekly slaughter figures are still impacted by the Easter period.

Favourable seasonal conditions since the start of the year have underpinned a sharp lift in restocker demand, particularly across southern Australia. Parts of Victoria recorded their wettest February–March period on record, especially in the state’s west, while southern regions of SA have also benefited from consistent rainfall. Follow-up fronts in recent weeks have reinforced soil moisture and pasture availability, setting up a markedly improved production environment.

The Australian dairy industry has developed the Sustainable Dairy Calf Management Roadmap (CalfWays) which aims to ensure that by 2035, all dairy calves not required for herd maintenance can enter valued market chains, eliminating the need for routine on-farm euthanasia.
