The latest livestock products data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) shows that last quarter, Australia had the highest lamb slaughter on record at 6,935,700 head.

Year-to-date yardings have increased by approximately 30%, which has largely been driven by a growing number of processors participating at saleyards. Since the end of 2023, a growing number of cattle have been sold to processors, supported by the record weekly slaughter figures averaging 130,000 head per week.
