Thainstone Centre in Inverurie is the principal Aberdeen & Northern Marts centre and a significant livestock trading location in north-east Scotland. This directory entry concerns that particular venue, rather than the combined activity of every site operated by the group. The distinction matters because the shared website carries information from several centres. For a buyer, Thainstone provides a location for inspecting animals, entering the appropriate type of sale and using published results as a comparison point.

The report for 23 October 2026 records 998 store cattle, young bulls and calves sold. Its Bullocks section, covering 437 animals, averaged 399 pence per kg; a separate AA group was reported independently, so this is not the average for the entire auction. These are single-sale observations. The spreadsheet uses GBp/kg to prevent the hundredfold error that would result from reading pence as pounds. A purchaser should retain both the category and its unit when copying the statistic into a buying model.

The public archive contains reports for several cattle and sheep categories. Before using a price, check the venue, sale date, animal category and unit. A per-head amount and a per-kilogram price express the result differently. Someone sourcing animals for further finishing will generally find the relevant store-cattle category more informative than a headline top price from an unrelated sale.

Suppliers can start their preparations with the entry and declaration forms published by ANM. They should confirm which document applies, the entry deadline and the livestock reception timetable. Buyers are advised to establish registration, inspection, payment and collection arrangements. A useful enquiry describes the number of head, sex, weight range and intended use instead of asking only for a generic cattle price. Identification and health-status information should be confirmed for the actual lot under consideration; a market-wide report cannot establish those details for individual animals.

The centre's address is Thainstone Centre, Inverurie AB51 5XZ, with enquiries through marts@anmgroup.co.uk. When estimating the full purchase cost, separate transaction-related charges from transport. The buyer should agree who releases the animals, the loading sequence and the final departure deadline. The seller can request an explanation of deductions and the expected settlement date. These practical questions turn a published price report into a useful starting point for a real transaction while preserving the specific conditions attached to the animals being bought or sold.
