MLA revised the July Sheep Processor Trading Conditions index up to 1% from 0.4%, reflecting a 13% rise in co-product prices since June, including a 28% increase in offal and a 10% gain in tallow. The August index fell back to 0.4%, showing processor margins remain thin.
Higher offal and tallow values are supporting processor margins, but high livestock procurement costs keep the sector squeezed. Tallow strength supports fat-based feed ingredient prices.
