flag Record-high demand for red meat is driving unprecedented prices at New Zealand’s Feilding saleyards, with top lambs selling for $226 and cattle reaching $3,590 per head. flag The country’s largest livestock market, operating since 1880, handles over 50,000 cattle and 450,000 sheep annually, serving as a central hub for farmers and buyers nationwide. flag Despite dry conditions and tight margins, strong competition persists, fueled by limited supply and rising global demand. flag Weekly sales by PGG Wrightson and Carrfields attract local participants and international visitors, while public tours led by Eric Linklater highlight the saleyards’ enduring role in New Zealand’s rural economy.
