The Australian sheep flock currently sits at the highest level since 2007, with 78.75m head according to MLA. This is as a result of regrowth in the breeding flock, and better scanning rates, following years of destocking due to drought from 2019. Following on from the record sized sheep flock, production and slaughter levels in Australia have grown throughout 2023.

Reports have shown that rain has boosted confidence in producers and processors, who were concerned about a season of dry weather from El Nino.
