How fresh the source is
Daily on trading days (MLA updates at midnight AEST); every answer states the trading day it describes
Limits
A weighted average of auction prices for one indicator on one day, published by MLA: not the price of a particular animal, farm or sale, not a futures price and not a retail meat price. Cattle indicators are cents per kilogram (carcase weight 'cwt' or live weight 'lwt' as the indicator says), the online indicators for lambs and sheep are dollars per head. National indicators only. MLA may change or withdraw the data on notice; MLA-only answers stay on the free tier.
Rule
A figure built from records is shown only when at least 5 records sit behind it; official statistics are shown as such, with their reference period. See how we earn trust and the method.
