| Descripción: | Changes in sale and purchase of livestock allow identification of the type of animal that producers want, variations in supply and demand, and their impact on price. To understand this for Costa Rica, we analyzed the number and sales prices of auctioned livestock from 2007 to 2013. Information provided by the auctions included location, date, number of animals, sex, weight, marketing category and price. Auction was a highly significant variable (p <0.0001) for the number of animals. More females (66%) were sold. Producers look for males between 151-350 kg of body weight and 350-500 kg females. Males were 0,22 $ more expensive (average) and prices were higher in June and July. |
