<p>A vast amount of sales data (for around 1.4 million cattle) is collected through
the year from open market sales and used to determine the monthly TB compensation
rates in England. Under Defra’s table valuation based system, compensation paid reflects
the average market sale prices in the 51 cattle categories we use. The categories
are based on an animal’s age, gender, type (beef or dairy) and pedigree status. Only
sales data for pedigree cattle is used to determine compensation rates for owners
of pedigree herds.</p><p> </p><p>We do not have access to private sales valuation
data.</p><p> </p>
