How do I enquire about cattle?

Open a marketplace listing and use the enquiry or offer button. Saleyard prepares an email with the listing details so buyer and seller information can be confirmed before trading.

How do I list cattle?

Use the sell cattle form to prepare class, breed, weight, price, location and media details for review.

Are processor schedules the same as saleyard prices?

No. Processor schedules are carcass-weight indications. Saleyard result prices are generally liveweight or per-head figures and should not be compared directly.

Market figures are indicative and depend on the source data, cattle quality, weight, class, region and sale conditions.
