Understanding Young cattle Prices
Young cattle is priced the way live animals and meat move everywhere: on feed and fodder costs, seasonal demand around festivals and religious observances, disease outbreaks that disrupt supply, and each animal's own weight, age and body condition. That is why a single young cattle rate spans a wide band — a breeding-quality animal and a cull animal quoted in the same market can differ several-fold.
Read the min-max figure on each row as the spread between grades and conditions on the day, not as day-to-day volatility. Live animals are quoted per head and meat per kilogram, so check the unit before you compare two markets. On this page, rates are quoted per kg.
The figure shown is a market reference, not a delivered price — transport, mortality risk and market fees are added on top, and each country's rate carries its own currency and collection date, shown on the row. For a real trend, read the six-month chart rather than any single day's quote.
