E-mail The Cattle Range with other questions...

• If sold otherwise, or no longer on the market, you pay nothing.
• If sold to a buyer originating from the website, you pay a sale fee based on the number & class of cattle listed... Sale Fee Schedule

However, listings with livestock priced within the current market range will receive more buyer interest.

Because of the significant price fluctuations that occur for Stocker Calves and Feeder Cattle, you may want to list the price for them as...

• "Negotiable" or "Contact Seller for price quote" or  "Will consider reasonable offers", etc.
• If you do list a price, the flexibility of The Cattle Range allows you to contact us anytime with a price change.

A Cattle Range listing doesn't need photos to be effective.  However, photos increase buyer interest, especially if you have attractive cattle for sale.

• It’s not necessary to have an expensive camera… Photos taken with the $5 disposable cameras available at Walmart, K-Mart, etc., take excellent photos. 
• Photos of a few individual animals with some daylight around them show the cattle better than photos of a tightly bunched group, especially if the cattle are predominately the same color.

• Photos taken with a digital camera or scanned into computer format can be transmitted to The Cattle Range via e-mail...  See the "Submit Photos" link located on the main page of the website.
• Or you can send them via regular mail and we’ll add them to your listing upon receipt... Mailing address is available at "Contact TCR"

Certified Check - Require buyer to have a Certified Check for the estimated sales amount at delivery.  After weighing and/or sorting the cattle, if the actual amount due is more than the Certified Check, accept the buyer's company or personal check for the difference... If less, you give him a check.

Wire Transfer - Once the total sales amount is determined, require buyer to wire the funds to your bank account. You don't have to wait for the funds to get to your bank.  Once the buyer has called in the wiring instructions, have your bank verify with his bank that the wire is underway and you can be assured the funds will arrive shortly.  An advantage to this plan is that "wired funds" are "collected funds" and you will get immediate credit at your bank instead of having to wait several days, or more, before you have access to the sales proceeds.

The Cattle Range acts only as a facilitator and does not participate in the transaction.  Buyers and sellers deal directly, and accordingly, the Beef Check-Off assessment should be handled like any private treaty sale.
