Lot Loading

Crucial to the success of any auction

No auction lots can be loaded without the catalogues. If this information is provided timeously the auction can receive better marketing. Higher number of registrations - better prices. Generally your livestock agent will provide us with the needed information.

Information to be provided for each Auction:
1. CSV Catalogue
2. PDF Catalogue
3. Lot photos
4. Lot videos
5. E- Catalogue (if available)

  • 1. CSV Catalogue

    A CSV is a document sent by the Governing body of the specific breed for example: Bonsmara SA | Stud book. It contains the details of registered animals being sold on a specific auction. Our system requires a CSV catalogue to upload Lot information.

    You or your agent will be required to request the CSV directly from the Governing body- should you need assistance please do make contact with us.

    See the CSV Catalogue Example

  • 2. PDF Catalogue

    A pdf catalogue consists of gene cards and comments by the seller. The pdf will be reformatted and uploaded to each specific lot.

    See the PDF Catalogue Example

  • 3. Lot photos

    Dress up your auction by providing us with no more than 3 high-quality landscape photos for each Lot, no bigger than 99Mb.

    Only JPEG | PNG Formats are accepted. Lot photos must be appropriately renamed when provided to us.

    Example:

    Photo 1 for Lot 15 should be saved as 15-1.JPEG and Photo 2 for Lot 15 should be saved at 15-2.JPEG

    Once photos are uploaded we will replace them only once with new photographs at your or your client’s request. No amendments to photos will be accepted thereafter.

  • 4. Lot Videos

    1 x Video per lot can be uploaded to give buyers the opportunity to see the moving animal. No bigger than 99Mb.
