Great time to be in sheep. Clients sold over 5000 Primeline Maternal ewe suckers today to average $360 or $17-19 dressed. Solid returns for many flocks weaning over 160%

When booking rental cars don’t use @SixtAustralia particularly when travelling to rural destinations as they cancel reservations at the last minute and leave you stranded.

Are Australian Heavy Steer prices becoming more volatile?
I've analysed 73 years of inflation-adjusted prices. Volatility has jumped 41pc since the 2010s, with big monthly price swings becoming more common.
But we're still well below the 1970s extremes.

Are Australian mutton prices becoming more volatile?
Here are 73 years of inflation-adjusted prices. Mutton volatility has increased 29pc since the 2010s, but remains well below the extreme levels of the 1980s and 1990s.
Big price swings aren't new; they used to be more common.

Are Australian trade lamb prices really becoming more volatile?
I've analysed 73 years of inflation-adjusted prices and found that volatility has increased only modestly since 2020. In fact, current volatility is well below historical peaks.
A very different story to cattle.

Are Australian cattle prices really becoming more volatile, or are bigger swings just a reflection of higher prices? We crunched 73 years of inflation-adjusted EYCI data. Volatility has jumped since 2020, but we're still below the peaks of the late 1970s.
