Western Online Market

Posting an auction is done by the adminstrator. Please contact Luke if you wish to sell your cattle on Western Online Market.

The internet is an excellent media to market your cattle, to accurately depict the cattle, WOM will video your cattle and take pictures if you do not have the means. The pictures and video is edited, along with the description, sale terms and opening bids the auctions are posted.

Extensive online, print and handshake marketing is used to promote the auctions within your regional area.

Buying a lot on Western Online Market works very efficently. Bidders must register and be validated by the administrator. Information is validated through a phone call and address verification. An opening bid is set by the seller, bidding incriments are displayed to show the next acceptable bid. The bidder has the option of entering a proxy bid, which is typically the highest amount the bidder is willing to pay for the lot. The auction software will automatically update the bid as additional bids come in, up to the proxy bid amount. Once you are outbid, an automatic email message will be sent alerting you that you have been outbid. If a bid is placed within the last 30 minutes of an auction's scheduled closing time, the auction will be automatically extended 30 minutes to give someone time to place a bid if they have been outbid.

The process for selling is simple. All sellers must contact the administrator, Luke Reimers. Together, we will outline an action plan for recording video and still pictures. All information regarding the bulls must be provided by the seller prior to the start of the auction. There are several ways to advertise, utilizing print and online advertising. Print advertising is the most expensive, but very effective. WOM's large database of commercial cattle producers will identify an excellent customer base for registered producers. In addition to an extensive mailing list, our company also has a very good email list that will effectively market the auction directly to people who are online and interested in your lot items.
