About Fairyard

Fairyard was built to answer a deceptively simple question: what is this mob worth right now?

Saleyards publish after-the-fact averages by category and weight. Useful, but a long way from telling a producer what their 100 Dorper lambs at 23 kg fat-3, or their pen of yearling steers, are actually making at the yard this week — and that's the number that matters when you're weighing an OTH offer against sending the mob to auction.

What we do

We bring together official saleyard sale results — every sale, by saleyard, category, weight and fat score — and turn them into a current market value for stock like yours, shown with the observed pen-by-pen sales range behind it.

Where recent sales are thin, the range widens automatically and we say so — an honest range beats a precise-looking number we can't stand behind. When your own yard is quiet we fall back to a regional pool and label it, so you always know which you're looking at. We tell you what the market has done, never a guess at what it will do.

Independent & honest

Fairyard is free, and it stays free. We don't charge you, and the figures you see aren't tilted by anyone paying for placement. Every value shows where it came from — which saleyard, how recent the sales, how wide the range — so you can judge it for yourself.

If you'd like to talk it through, call or email. No pitch, just a chat.
