*** IMPORTANT NOTES ***
There
have been changes to some of the catalog information for the cattle being sold today.
We have tried to
stay up with these changes in the online catalog, but you should listen to the
word from the auction block for the most up-to-date information. Thanks!

Install
the most recent Flash Player *Although it's normally under one second for desktop computers, the Flash video stream may experience a lag from real time (also called 'latency') of up to a few seconds. If you are using the Internet webcast to watch while you bid over the phone, please turn down the volume and let your representative keep you up on the bidding. If you have Flash Player installed, it's a good idea to give the video a test run by going to any lot in the Video Sale Catalog and watching the cattle video to make sure you have the most recent version. |

Alternative
for Apple iPad/iPhone Users:
For those of you with an Apple iPad/iPhone, you may purchase a "Flash compatible" iOS browser App called "Photon" from the Apple App Store. This third-party browser will allow to you view any Flash-based streaming video normally designed for
desktop computers with the Flash plug-in installed. When viewing the Flash stream with this special web browser, you will enjoy a greatly reduced time delay for the video stream. It is generally reduced to just a second or so when compared to the 10 to 50 seconds
delay via the "mobile" stream.

The quality of the video you receive will depend on the speed of your Internet connection. A broadband connection (Wireless, DSL, T1, Cable ) will allow you to watch the sale as it's happening. There is also a option that allows you to watch the sale with some satellite and other, slower Internet connections. The video will have slightly less clarity than broadband.
