The Perfect Solution for Cattle Producers to Sell
Cattle for the Best Price WITHOUT the Stress
Risk of Selling at Auction! Unfortunately, most
cattle producers don't Market their cattle.
Instead they simply sell them off at the most
convenient outlet at the most convenient time. As
a result, they are Price Takers. Marketing means
making choices about how or what product to
produce, where to market it and when to
price. As a result, marketers have more control
over the price they receive." -University of
Georgia Ag Extension You worked all year long to
produce a nice set of calves, don't you want to
capture the most value you can? If Buyers knew
about the value you put into your program The
years of genetic selection, the health management
practices, the handling and care, the goals and
efficiencies of your operation Wouldn't they pay
you the best price for them? ConnexionLivestock.c
om is an online marketplace for producers to
Effectively Market the value of their cattle to
an established network of quality-oriented
buyers across the US.

• Its Not about What you Say, Its what you do
• I really enjoy the professionalism and attitude
  of putting us as a seller first. Boe takes the
  time to come to the ranch and really understand
  what our operation is about. He not only videos
  my cattle,
• he stays on top of the cattle markets and how
  they affect my marketing goals and objectives. He
  assists in sorting my calves into weight classes
  and spends a lot of time looking over performance
• and profitability data to determine the best sale
  weight and time. In addition the ConneXion
  payment platform is rock solid. In a time when
  markets are volatile and the value of cattle is
  so high, it is nice knowing that the money is
  good and in the bank.
• Rich Roth - IX Ranch Co.
• I have been marketing calves with the ConneXion
  for a number of years. They have been very
  innovative in ways to market cattle. I feel more
  involved with the marketing of my calves with
• ConneXion. They have always been very
  professional and courteous to work with. They
  watch the markets closely and are able to advise
  you on where they think the markets are heading.
  This is beneficial when it comes time to make
  your marketing decisions. I have also worked with
  them to
• purchase cattle. They were able to find just what
  I was looking for. I highly recommend Connexion
  Livestock for your livestock marketing decisions.
• Bruce Neuman - Neuman Charolais
• ConneXion is the best way a rancher can market
  their cattle. They work hard to get you the best
  prices and rep your cattle to buyers across the
  US and Canada! Fetching our operation some of the
  best prices in the market with less commission
  helps our bottom line. We look forward every year
  to
• marketing our cattle with Boe Scott! Clayton
  Malson - SE Investments
• Their whole process from the show list and timed
  auctions to the security of escrow is a
  low-stress way to get business done. The good
  relationships they have built in the industry are
  apparent every time we have shipped or received
  cattle, and because of that, I feel our dealings
  have always been
• fair, represented right, and well taken care of
  and is why I recommend ConneXion Livestock.
  Charlie Gilman - Gilman IH Cattle
• This year we marketed 2,900 calves through
  ConneXion. Their knowledge of the market and
  their
• wide range of contacts in the industry allowed us
  to successfully market the cattle that we had for
  sale for a good price. Boe and Scott are good
  people and are a pleasure to work with.
• Hank Willemsma - Matador Cattle Company

Any Questions? How Long Does it Take to Sell
Cattle? The time it takes to sell depends on the
cattle, price, and the market. Weve had cattle
sold within 53 minutes of posting them online,
but most of the cattle sell within 10 days after
being put on the Show List. Sometimes it takes
time to find the right buyer, or we might be a
little too early to the market. Cattle are left
on the Show List for 30 days. If a set doesn't
sell within that time, it means that we need to
adjust our strategy, either by adjusting price,
changing some details or getting better video. Am
I Locked into Selling with ConneXion? What does
it Cost? If you choose to sell with ConneXion and
want us to come video the cattle, all we ask for
is a fair chance to sell them. Consign your
cattle for 30 days (even though it rarely takes
that long) and if we can't sell them in that
time, you may choose to take your marketing
efforts elsewhere. There arent any No-Sale or
Consignment Fees.You have nothing to lose!We
only get paid if we get a deal done for
you!Theres a 2 Commission on Feeder Cattle. Can
I Only Sell Calves? No, You can do so much more!
While our Primary business is marketing feeder
cattle year-round, ConneXion has proven to be
one of the elite marketers for breeding stock, at
times getting some of the highest prices for
bred cows in the nation! But it doesn't stop
there! We have run Production Bull Sales, County
Fair 4-H Sales, Show Pig Auctions, Colt Sales,
and the REAL Ranch Horse Invitational Sale. Do
You Only Sell Montana Cattle? We market cattle
from all over the United States, from Montana,
Wyoming, South Dakota, Colorado and Iowa! Our
growing network of buyers necessitates getting
cattle from other regions during different
seasons. Please contact us and we will do our
best to help market your cattle effectively! How
do You Sort the cattle? Our Mission is to Market
Quality Cattle with Integrity and get the best
price for our sellers. To do this, we sort the
cattle to beexactlywhat was representedto the
buyer because the buyer expects to get what he
paid for. Our goal is to be as close to the
Gross Contract Weight as Possible, while finding
the line of best fit between uniformity,
contract average weight, and head counts. We will
work closely with you to best describe, video
and represent the cattle correctly at sale time
and want them to be that way at delivery. Let
