Livestock prices, finished and store
Average prices for cattle, sheep and pigs sold at store and finished auction markets in Great Britain.
This series gives the average farmgate prices of selected livestock across Great Britain from a range of auction markets. The prices are national averages of prices charged for sheep, cattle, and pigs in stores and finished auction markets. This publication is updated monthly.
We have now withdrawn updates to both the Store and Finished Livestock datasets. Livestock price data for the latest week can be accessed on the AHDB website at Markets and prices - AHDB. We are currently assessing the user base for liveweight livestock prices to inform future data collection processes. If liveweight price data is useful to you please contact us at prices@defra.gov.uk to let us know.
