What is included
BIDR: verified sold and finalised lot results form the highest-precedence Store price evidence.
AG Online: verified sold Store class results add coverage where the reported tally and prices describe one non-overlapping cohort.
MyLivestock: exact and ranged price reports add market context. A line without a reported tally is never counted as one animal or used to move a tally-weighted headline.
Processor schedules: works schedule rows are stored separately as carcass-weight data. They are not mixed into saleyard liveweight averages.
Interpretation
How to read the numbers
Coverage: Saleyard processes a multi-year public saleyard archive, including current 2026 results and historical sale data where available. Coverage varies by source, saleyard and reporting period.
Price basis: saleyard prices are shown as indicative $/kg liveweight or $/head where reported. Processor schedule data is carcass-weight and kept separate.
Averages: weekly Store and class prices are calculated from verified sold lots using represented liveweight. Per-head prices are converted using the same lot's average liveweight.
Clearance: clearance is shown only as “where reported” because offered and sold numbers vary by source and can sometimes be identical in public tables.
Limitations: mixed store/prime lines without class detail are disclosed separately. Actual sale prices still depend on quality, timing, freight, buyer demand, breeding, and yard.
Not advice: Saleyard is market information only. It is not financial advice and it is not an offer to buy or sell cattle.
