Livestock Auction Terms - Reviewing Your Sale Check

---

The back tag is assigned to your animal at check-in.

The number of animals sold in that lot.

The color, sex, or kind of animal you sold.

This is where you find remarks made on your livestock at unloading or in the ring.  

This can include Palpate (P), injury, or lameness, as well as any comments you may have requested to be announced.

At Flatonia Livestock Commission Co., we welcome an extensive range of buyers.  From independent farm and ranch owners to company order buyers.  

This is where you will find the designation used to represent the Buyer of your animal.  Although we cannot disclose who purchased your animal, we use this code to bill the Buyer for their purchase.

Your animal is often sold by the Weight (WT) but can be sold by the Head (HD), Pair (PR), Group Weight (GW), Group Head (GH), or by Group Pair (GP).

The weight of your animal at the time of sale.

This is where to find the price the Buyer is paying for your animal based on the selling Code (CD).

Here is the amount each lot of your livestock bought before any deductions have been applied.

The animal is sold individually and not at a per pound cost.

Animals sold by weight are sold by the pound.  Your price will reflect the price per pound multiplied by the weight of the animal.

The lot sold contains a Dam and an Offspring.
