How it works
Base+ contracts are tailored, not one-size-fits-all. We match sellers and buyers based on delivery window, breed, weight, base price, and the share of market upside.
For Sellers: tell us what stock you’ve got and when you want to deliver. We’ll speak with buyers and come back with tailored options to suit your needs.
For Buyers: Let us know what you’re looking to purchase (delivery timing, breeds, weights, volumes) and we’ll present offers that match.
Once terms are agreed, a contract is completed so both parties know exactly what’s expected and who they’re dealing with.
Final pricing is confirmed the week before delivery, based on national lamb values.
