AuctionsPlus
Is an electronic selling system for livestock that offers national competition, allowing buyers to log into and participate in the live sale, anywhere in Australia. Elders is a major supporter of AuctionsPlus and has qualified assessors in every region of Australia.
How you benefit
- Your livestock are exposed to a national gallery of buyers, maximising competition.
- You can participate in regular sales: 5 regular sheep sales, 3 regular cattle sales (including Eastern states, Tasmanian and WA sales), as well as numerous "special sales" each week.
- When stock are listed, you set a reserve price in consultation with Elders assessors.
- When stock are sold, the price is ‘on property’, with the purchaser paying freight.
- You are not penalised if grid specifications are not met, as the price is a flat one, particularly relevant for the sale of slaughter stock on a c/kg carcase weight basis.
- You receive accurate feedback information from the live assessment as well as kill sheet information for slaughter stock.
