How to Succeed at Livestock Auctions | Klassen Wood Co.

For vendors coming away from a livestock auction with a sale, there is usually a feeling of fulfilment, knowing that all the work that went into preparing their animals was rewarded.

Livestock auctions are known by a variety of names, including auction barns and livestock exchanges. But they all provide the same service: an excellent place to showcase and sell livestock such as pigs, sheep and cattle. It is always fascinating to see buyers bid with much enthusiasm on the variety of breeds, shapes and sizes of animals that are up for sale.

If you are new to selling livestock at auction, the process can seem overwhelming. But there are simple things you can do to ensure success.

Provide high-quality livestock

What would an auction be without the animals on show? But you can’t offer just any animal for sale. The animals must be of a certain quality to satisfy the demands of consumers. Livestock on display should be able to wow buyers so that purchases are guaranteed.

Therefore, it’s incumbent on sellers to invest time and energy into preparing the animals for the auction stage. Necessities such as a proper diet and a clean and comfortable environment will prove crucial to ensure that the best animals are brought to auction. Potential buyers tend to favour sellers that have built up a profile of reliability and consistency.

Utilize white pine shavings during the auction process

Another way to ensure success at a livestock auction is by using an attractive staging area. For this, white pine shavings can provide the required pomp and pageantry that will make the animals look more robust and beautiful as they are displayed during the process.
