Recently Western Beef met with the CEO of WAMIA over coffee to discuss all aspects of the supply chain here in WA and the issues that producers face here in WA. This included 'paddock to plate' producers who have faced considerable disruption this season.
Its important for producers to know that WAMIA understands the concerns facing producers and are working hard to create outcomes. That said it is a very complex industry and there is no quick fix to some of these issues.
Earlier this year WAMIA released some guidelines for those looking to explore the option to set up their own abattoir. Here is the link wamia.wa.gov.au/abattoir-approvals/#tab-438eea2a3eff3ca1077

MUCHEA CATTLE REPORT 26/05/2025
Total Yarding 818
Although the sale was around the same Volume as last week it was big lines of well-bred mostly Angus weaner steers and heifers making up a large portion of the sale while bulls and especially cows were limited in supply. The breed component as well as several restockers from the south had a lot to do with gains in weaner values while the bull and cow markets eased considerably.
Plain weaner steers were selling from 220c to 320c and with better breeding from 332c up to 398c/kg. The same for weaner heifers lacking size or breeding ranged from 140c to 274c and better-bred heifers from 280c to 376c/kg. Yearling values were back 25c with steers returning to paddocks selling from 182c to 286c and with more fat cover 300c to 356c/kg. Lighter yearling heifers sold from 164c to 270c while better heifers sold to a top of 304c/kg.
Grown steers were softer and ranged from 150c to 286c while grown heifers were making 226c to 290c/kg. The cow market was back 25/30c with Store cows selling from 50c to 180c, medium cows from 190c to 230c and the very limited volume of prime cows presented sold up to 260c/kg.
Bulls returning to the paddock sold from 156c to 180c while shipping bulls eased 15/20c ranging from 180c to 258c and very few slaughter bulls were showing condition and ranged from 120c to 230c/kg, easing 20c.
