Australia’s beef industry is tracking toward one of its biggest years on record, with slaughter, exports and grainfed turnoff all forecast to reach historic highs in 2025, according to the latest market outlook from StoneX. 
Here's the weekly wrap of livestock markets from Meat & Livestock Australia.
Slaughter volumes across eastern Australia have dropped sharply through June into early July 2025, as the winter seasonal tightening sets in and processors scale back operations to manage cost pressures and rising livestock prices, writes Matt Dalgleish.
The MLA National Heavy Lamb Indicator reached its highest price on record at 1,127¢/kg carcase weight (cwt), lifting 12% in the past month - but how is wool performing.
As frosts start to knock feed around in Queensland and patchy rain contributes to more cattle being turned off, the number of cattle heading south for processing continues to climb.
Australian beef exports hit a new monthly record of 134,593 tonnes in June, writes Tim Jackson.
After a tougher trend from February to April, Australia’s beef processing sector experienced a welcome rebound in trading conditions during May, writes Matt Dalgleish.
The Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) and Australian Wool Innovation (AWI) May 2025 Sheep Producers Intentions Survey (SPIS) revealed 41% of surveyed producers plan to reduce their breeding ewe flocks. Additionally, 20% of that group intend a 25% reduction.  
Despite a generally confident outlook in the cattle market, last week’s clearance rates revealed a gap between vendor expectations and buyer sentiment. While the data clearly points to one key factor - reserve setting - there may be other things at play that vendors and agents need to consider.
