Data generated from the exchange of registered Angus bulls at auction provide key metrics for breeders, buyers, and market analysts. These metrics typically include the number of animals sold, average and top prices, and sometimes additional details like the buyers’ locations or the sires of the top-selling animals. An example would be a report showing that 200 bulls sold for an average price of $5,000, with the top bull fetching $25,000.
Auction outcomes offer valuable insights into current market trends and the perceived genetic merit of offered animals. This information allows breeders to evaluate their breeding programs, make informed decisions about future matings, and gauge the commercial demand for specific bloodlines. Buyers use this data to assess the value proposition of potential purchases and benchmark prices against the broader market. Historical analysis of these figures can reveal long-term trends in the Angus breed and the overall beef cattle industry.
