Prices for WA sheep tank
Western Australia’s sheep market is buckling due to ongoing uncertainty over the federal government’s live sheep export phase out, with prices dropping to less than a third of those on the east coast.Late last week, the mutton indicator in WA was just 87c/kg carcass weight, compared to Victoria’s rate of more than 300c/kg. Lamb prices are also being affected with WA saleyard rates ranging from 287-464c/kg carcass weight, compared to 551-641c/kg in Victoria.It comes as the federal Opposition tabled its own report into the live sheep export industry to parliament, urging the government to rethink the ban.It also wants the government to acknowledge the “damage being done to WA farmers, exports supply chain participants, and the broader rural communities”.
