Take the Stress Out of Livestock Auction Sale Day

Windows auction software built by people who know the yards and the front office: keyboard-only controls in the ring, custodial balancing and the reporting that follows, with a real person on the phone 24/7.

Sale day, module by module

From the first slip at check-in to the last check out of the office

Every station in the barn works in the same program, so the ring, the pens and the office are looking at the same sale while it happens.

Check-In

Sellers in by slip or tag

Pick the seller from the master address list, check livestock in by slip, single tag or group tag, and add trucking, vet, feed or other charges. A lien shows the moment that seller comes up.

Ring Clerking

Clerk the whole sale from the keyboard

Every function works from the keyboard, weighing takes one key, and a split screen lets the clerk work ahead while the auctioneer finishes the last group. Resell, re-run, combine or split a draft in seconds.

Auctioneer Screen

What is selling, and what just sold

A TV board for the auctioneer: seller, head, total and average weight and comments on top; head, weight, bid price, price per head and the buyer underneath.

Video Capture

Pull the clip of any transaction

Audio and video are recorded with ring clerking. Right-click a scale ticket to watch that exact sale from any office computer, kept until the delete date you set.

Penning

Pens on screen as they leave the ring

The penner sees everything penned for a buyer, can change pen, tag, head, price or buyer, and can move a whole pen when the smaller one fills up.

Office and Custodial Balancing

Checks out, custodial account balanced

Hauling, commission, vet charges, checks and invoices, with buyer invoices emailed through Microsoft Outlook. Then reconcile checks from the bank statement and print the uncleared list.

Built by People Who Know the Auction Business Inside and Out

Randy Power was raised on a livestock farm in Mid-Missouri and took a degree in Animal Science from the University of Missouri. He found his way into livestock auction software in 1997, and in 2004 U.S. Livestock Systems teamed up with Amstar Software to build a true, all-Windows auction system. Today Randy works alongside two of his children. It is a family business grounded in agriculture, not a tech startup built in a city office.

What the barns running it say after sale day

“With the old system, sales lasted 3-4 hours longer than they do now. We all talk about that - remember when we were here till midnight?”

Mitchell Livestock, LLC, Mitchell, SD

“Anybody can use this system; you don't have to be a computer genius. I have been totally satisfied and wish we had switched sooner.”

Before you call

Questions sale barns ask first

Anything not here, Randy's office will answer on (573) 682-1080.

Support 24/7

Telephone and remote access, with training at every stage of setup and operation. A sale-night question gets a person who knows the program.

(573) 682-1080

It was built by people who grew up in livestock and have spent years in the yards and the front office. The whole program runs check-in, ring clerking, the office, penning, video and custodial balancing as one system, so a sale barn is not stitching tools together on sale day.

Check-in by slip or tag, liens on a seller, ring clerking from the keyboard, video capture of every transaction, penning, buyer and seller settlements, invoicing, and the reports afterwards. Buyer trades and multiple sales take a few clicks.

It automates work that used to need several people, and it is simple enough that part-time or newer office staff can handle it. Several barns run their sale with fewer people than they needed on the old system.

Yes. It is a true Windows program with familiar menus, which matters in a business with high staff turnover. One barn, Daviess County Livestock Market in Gallatin, Missouri, says it took one sale to train everyone.

Support is 24/7 by telephone and remote access, with detailed training and personal help at every stage of setup and operation.

Every install is quoted for the barn, because the setup depends on your sale. Call (573) 682-1080 for a custom quote and the password to the demo videos.
