🌏 International visitors at Muchea Livestock Centre this week 🐑🐄
WAMIA was pleased to host prospective sheep meat and beef buyers from B&L Group Jiangsu, China at the Muchea Livestock Centre as part of a broader trade engagement program led by the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD).
The delegation visited the sheep auction during a period of strong market conditions and received an on‑site overview of WA’s red meat supply chain. The visit provided an opportunity to showcase Western Australia’s world‑class biosecurity systems, sheep eID implementation and high animal welfare standards. All are key foundations underpinning global confidence in our export supply chains.
Earlier in the week, WAMIA also welcomed the DPIRD Agribusiness, Food and Trade team to Muchea for the cattle auction, reinforcing the strong collaboration across government in promoting WA’s red meat credentials globally and supporting efficiency in the meat and livestock supply chain.

It was a light sale today which is usually expected for this time of the year.

Heifers of all weights and ages were generally carrying more condition and were in demand.
Local weaner steers were selling from 320c to 530c while weaner heifers ranged from 248c to 442c/kg. The limited number of local yearling steers returned 398c to 430c and yearling heifers generally showing more cover were selling from 332c to 452c/kg. Pastoral steer calves were presented in store condition and sold from 196c to 286c while pastoral heifers had more fat cover selling from 240c up to 404c/kg.
Grown steers were also few in number and returned 330c to 384c while grown heifers returned 322c to 422c with several pens in finished condition.
Light framed pastoral store cows were selling from 156c to 240c while bigger framed store cows sold to 310c/kg. Medium weight cows returned 310c to 348c and heavy cows sold to a top of 360c/kg.

Local yearling steers were mostly in store condition selling from 344c to 484c while yearling heifers returned 290c to 410c/kg.
