	Hooks Price Summary: No need to wonder about the most recent price band for "hooks" cattle. This summary should generate industry-wide interest. It is Immediately visible, right on the home page where you first hit this site, it covers the current "hooks" prices and trends as Cattlefacts intelligence has them. There is one summary of five lines for each of the six major "hooks" categories, three male and three female categories. Each of the six summaries scrolls, one after the other, in front of you on the home page.

	*Price Converter:* Never again be in doubt whether the "hooks" or saleyard price you have is the better value. Price converter is a nifty calculator you can use to convert a price from one to the other automatically. For 'fiddlers', it has a high powered feature that lets them set values for up to ten costs and benefits associated with the conversion. It’s the sort of thing you probably would never bother to do manually but that Price Converter does for you quickly and accurately.

	Equaliser: "Get a benefit of get it FREE" This could prove to be one of the most valuable public analytical tools Australian cattle marketers will have. Equaliser calculates which of two "hooks" offers (that you have) will return you the most dollars for a draft of cattle and by how much. Running for clients via fax for the past 18 months, it regularly finds differences amounting to hundreds or thousands of dollars between nett quote values. To use it, you fill in a web form and submit it. Then after your information has been analysed, your report is sent back to you via fax- for privacy. Cattlefacts members use Equaliser free on the web. Non-members normally pay between $15-$40 per analysis but are given the guarantee - "If Equaliser can't find at least $100 difference for you the service is free"
