About Market Prices

Market Prices are collated from LAA member livestock markets in England and Wales to provide a comprehensive insight, representative of current market trends.

These prices are formed through a live competitive auction system with multiple buyers and sellers ensuring a fair and true price.

To ensure transparency and accuracy, an independent processor collates and processes the data on behalf of the LAA, with regular audit systems in place.

The LAA provides market prices for the benefit of the LAA membership, customers of LAA member markets and the wider agricultural industry.

The Livestock Auctioneers Association Limited (LAA) and its membership retain the rights to ownership of LAA Market Prices. Permission for use of LAA Market Prices is outlined within our terms and conditions
