Buying At Auction

Buying animals at auction requires preparation, knowledge, and a clear plan to ensure a successful purchase that meets farm needs.

Before attending, research the type of animals available, typical prices, and the health standards expected at the auction. Arrive early to inspect animals in person, checking for signs of good health such as clear eyes, clean coats, and alert behavior.

Pay attention to how animals move and interact, as well as any visible injuries or illnesses.

Set a budget and stick to it to avoid overbidding in the excitement of the auction. It’s also wise to understand the auction process, including registration, bidding rules, and payment options.

If possible, bring an experienced farmer or advisor to help evaluate animals and bids. After purchase, plan for safe transport and quarantine of new animals to prevent disease spread.

With thoughtful preparation and careful observation, buying animals at auction can be a cost-effective way to improve a farm’s livestock.
