Abstract
A livestock pricing system (10) broadly comprises a processor (14) to predict a best price for a group of animals, a grid database (16) to store price information used to predict the best price, a livestock database (18) to store livestock specifications used to compare with the price information to predict the best price, and an authenticator (20) to authenticate a plurality of users of the system (10) and thereby control user's access to the price information and livestock specifications stored in the databases (16,18). The system (10) also preferably includes a network adapter (22) to connect the system (10) to a network (12) through which the system (10) may be accessed by the users, which includes buyers and sellers. The system (10) compares several individual prices from each buyer to predict which buyer would cumulatively pay the best price.
