NZX Agrifax is a commercial information service which provides New Zealand agricultural prices and other primary product prices using an extensive agricultural price database. Our database includes New Zealand lamb prices, beef prices, and venison prices, New Zealand wheat prices, dairy product prices including butter, casein and skim milk prices, New Zealand wool prices, forestry log prices, pine log prices, rural finance, fish prices and more.

To work out your expected profit, change the number of days for each month, and fill in the remaining 3 boxes (Start LW, Purchase value, net sale price, and Wool Production). You can also alter any boxes in white.
While the dressing % automatically adjusts for different weights, you can alter this in the Adjustment box. (The lwg shown are based on average lamb performance.)
