Advantages of selling Pedigree Livestock Online

Advantages of selling Pedigree Livestock Online

Denis Barrett Auctions has nearly 30 years’ experience selling livestock on farm and over 10 years selling online. If you’re thinking of selling your pedigree livestock online then reading on will help you decide whether its right for you.

 

Do you have small numbers to sell?

If you have 1-20 animals to sell online only is ideal as your costs are minimised and you can still create a sales event around your stock.

 

Would your stock benefit from individual marketing?

Maybe you have some animals with unique breeding that you feel sets them apart, online allows you to market each individual animal to a large audience nationally and internationally.

 

Are you far from a sales centre/mart?

Transport costs are a growing issue, selling online directly off the farm removes this cost to the seller. Selling directly off farm also attracts a different buyer who is cautious of the potential disease contamination at marts.

 

Are you concerned about the labour involved in an on farm live sale?

Selling online removes the need to make your yard ready for a live sale, which can be costly when selling small numbers. Online allows you to access all the benefits of an on-farm sale without the hassle.

 

What costs are involved with selling online?

A small admin fee dependant on the number of animals and the cost of any additional services such as photos/videos/clipping that you choose to add to your package. You will also set your own marketing budget to include any print media you require; all social media promotion/advert creation is inclusive in your admin fee.
