The 3R Weekly Livestock Report

$500c: 18 October 2019
$500c: Cattle markets were quick to respond to light to moderate falls (5-30mm) across Eastern NSW agriculture belt. While far from drought breaking this rain did prove it can rain and will provide the slightest of improvement to many.
EYCI: Young cattle were better supported this week as the impact of rain, lower cattle availability and increasing Restocker competition drove higher demand. Assessing the average of the past 3 weeks (smoothing the impact of last week's Public Holiday) average EYCI throughput is 12,200 Hd - over 20% below the 2019 YTD average (15,800 Hd). All up the week finished up $17c (3.5%) but notably back above $500c ($503.25c).

The increase in the EYCI was largely driven out of the North with a notable result of Tamworth outselling Wagga - a trend that has not been common throughout the year. At periods in the past 3-6 months the difference from North to South has been as much as 15-25% however currently little to no difference is evident.

COWS: Cows benefitted from similar patterns to young stock with a general tightening of availability in the better end. In the yards better conditioned cows made $240-$260c with instances of $2,000+ returns on heavier cows. The ASF impact is really hitting 5th gear and driving lower grade beef values globally. Recent reports out of China that >40% of production has been destroyed by ASF. The ability to control ASF is near impossible. Mecardo produced a very insightful podcast on the topic which is worth listening to www.offers.mecardo.com.au/podcast
