How does a presort sale work? Why should you pre-book for cattle sales? A cooperative commitment to the livestock industry.
| Cattle are delivered to the market the day prior to the sale where they are sorted for quality, weight and confirmation. These cattle are then weighed with a pencil shrink which is determined by miles travelled to the market. Once the cattle are weighed they are moved to designated pens for cattle of the same quality, confirmation and weight categories. All cattle delivered to MLS will go on feed and water after they are weighed and before reloading for shipment to their new destination. This allows us, as the market operator, to ensure that the buyer is receiving your cattle in sound condition not having stood in dry pens for up to 36 hours without nutrition. |
| By the producers pre-booking calves it allows us to monitor delivery times to the market so cattle can be sorted and weighed promptly avoiding excess shrink. Having producer’s pre-book calves also allows the market operator to discuss with potential buyers quality, estimated weight and general numbers of head at that given sale. Any information that we can pass on to order buyers or feedlot operators prior to the sale is very beneficial to the seller. Please remember at MLS we are not just sellers of cattle we are cattle marketers working with the producer’s best interest in mind. |
| Producers commitment: to produce quality cattle and provide proper nutrition and health programs. |
| MLS commitment: It is our commitment to the producer to properly care for and market their cattle once they arrive at our facility. To properly sort and present your cattle to as many front row buyers and outside buyers as possible, creating an efficient, competitive and consistent market. We do realize that we are responsible for your years work when you deliver your cattle to our facility |
If you have any problems, questions or concerns please bring them to our attention. We will do our utmost best to explain and correct any situation that arises. We are greatly appreciative of any feedback, criticism or response we get from our producers. |
