Central Tablelands Livestock Exchange, usually called CTLX, is a cattle, sheep and lamb auction facility at Carcoar in New South Wales. Its commercial role is to concentrate regional livestock supplies and bring together buyers purchasing for further production or processing. Transport arrangements and receiving deadlines are integral to using this market successfully.
The operator describes FY2026 activity as exceeding 180,000 cattle and around 360,000 sheep. These are rounded scale figures from the facility profile, rather than an exact transaction register. They have not been attributed to the entire RLX network. Animal numbers also differ from the number of sale lots: a buyer may purchase several groups, while one producer may consign many animals divided by type, weight or intended use.
The published schedule places prime cattle on Tuesdays at 8:30 am, sheep and lambs on Wednesdays at 9:00 am, and store cattle on the second Friday of the month at 10:00 am. These are local times. Confirm the specific sale and earlier delivery deadline before dispatch. Special sales are also offered, so the mix of stock should not be assumed to remain identical throughout the year. The receiving timetable matters even when a buyer or seller is already familiar with the regular auction start.
Prices are separated by category and weight, and may be expressed per head, per kilogram liveweight or per kilogram carcase weight. Preserve that basis and the report date when comparing results. A store-cattle buyer will gain little from comparing a prospective purchase against the top price achieved for a small group of heavy slaughter cows.
Sellers should prepare animal numbers, a division into reasonably uniform groups, identification information and the details their selling agent needs. Buyers should agree collection arrangements, payment timing, transport and any charges for holding animals after sale. Compare the total delivered cost against the intended production period and expected performance. The highest report price cannot replace assessment of condition, uniformity and suitability for the proposed farming system. For a large purchase, establish transport availability before bidding, and check that the intended destination can receive the group at the agreed time. Keeping the lot description with the invoice also makes later cost comparisons more meaningful.
