Canadian Satellite Livestock Auction is offering livestock producers the advantage of North American buyer access combined with the local participating market.

Saskatoon Livestock Sales will list, video and handle the weighing and financial transactions between the buyer and seller. The individual producer's videos will be forwarded for the production and uplink to the satellite during the auction sale.

Satellite viewing is being done at many participating markets where buyers assemble and bid to ringmen who have a telephone hookup to sales headquarters. In addition US and Canadian buyers are also able to pick up the sale on their own dishes. The buyer's name or number is announced when the cattle are sold.

The advantage for the seller using the services will be selling cattle to a broad base of buyers and the security of dealing with your local market.

The advantage for buyers will be increased volume of cattle to bid on in areas that they might not normally have access to.

Feed grains are now being offered for sale by Canadian Satellite Livestock Auction. Grain is being sold in lots with minimum size being 6000 bushels. The grain is sold right after the livestock.
