Why Sell Bred Females Online?
Female cattle buyers want details: what she is bred to, when she is due and how she has been handled. An online sale gives them all of it ahead of time, and gives them days to bid instead of a few minutes in the ring.
What Do Buyers Want to Know About Bred Females?
Put as much on each lot as you have:
- Service sire or AI sire
- Expected calving dates
- How and when pregnancy was checked
- Vaccinations and health program
- Weights and disposition notes
- Pedigree and EPDs for registered females
Type it into the lot's details area or attach a PDF.
Can You Sell Heifers in Groups?
Yes. A lot can be a single heifer or a group, like a pen of 10 bred heifers. Buyers bid on the whole lot, and the lot page shows how many head are in it. Many sellers also put a per-head figure in the lot details so buyers can do the math at a glance.
When Do Bred Heifer Sales Usually Run?
Most run in the fall and early winter, after pregnancy checks and ahead of calving. Your sale website stays up all year, so the same site can run your spring bull sale.
What Happens After the Sale?
Winning buyers get an email right away. You collect payment, arrange delivery and send health papers on your terms. Lots that did not sell move to buy-it-now at the price you set. Any lot can carry a reserve price, so a pen only sells if bidding reaches your number. If it falls short, it goes to buy-it-now too.
