The top breeds for listings on AuctionsPlus so far in 2024 have been included in the analysis: including Angus, Brahman, Hereford, Droughtmaster, Santa Gertrudis, Friesian, Brangus, Charbray, Shorthorn, Charolais and Murray Grey.

Continuing on from an analysis of increased listings of purebred cattle in 2022, the “Breed Hoofprint” delivers a visual representation of the fluidity of the Australian cattle market. This year's hoofprint includes listings from the 1st of January to the 31st of March, 2024.
