Livestock ranges
What goats, sheep and buffaloes fetched at government APMC markets, market by market, and what animals fetched at auction.
There is no national daily livestock rate in India, and no page can honestly show one. Every row below belongs to one market. A breeding she buffalo and a young male for meat are not the same market, so they are never averaged together here.August 2026 average, market by market
Each dot is one APMC market's average price a head for the month. Point at a dot to name the market.
Change from the month before
The biggest moves. A big jump can be a different mix of animals, not only a price move.

Each APMC market's average price for the whole of August 2026, from AGMARKNET's market-wise monthly report (Directorate of Marketing & Inspection, Government of India), with the change from the month before. The report prints prices in rupees per unit, which for animals means per head.

What APMC markets reported, 25 Sep 2026
The government mandi feed (AGMARKNET) also carries the animals and birds sold at APMC markets on each day. Collected automatically several times a day. The feed prints no unit for animals, so the figures are shown exactly as published, in rupees.
6 rows from 3 markets. Only a handful of markets report animals on any day; this is what they said, not a national rate.
| Animal | Variety | Grade | Lowest | Highest | Most common | Market |

Auction notices
No auction notice has been collected yet. Auctions are events rather than a daily series, so this table fills up auction by auction.
How to read this
- A monthly average is every trading day of that month at that one market, averaged by AGMARKNET. It says what the market paid, not what your animal is worth.
- The APMC figures do not say breed, age or weight. A market that sold a few prime breeding animals one month can jump; read a big change as a different mix of animals, not only a price move.
- An auction row carries the breed, age, sex and purpose, because all four change the price.
- Distance matters more for animals than for grain. A rate 400 kilometres away may be unreachable for you.
- Buying or selling locally? Mandi carries livestock listings with the seller's own asking price.
