Livestock auction software for sale barns and farm markets.
Run feeder cattle, bred-cow, and horse sales with weight-based pricing, recurring sale-day schedules, and same-day consignor settlements — on a branded platform you own, not a marketplace you rent.
Livestock selling has its own rhythm. A weekly sale barn moves hundreds of head through the ring in an afternoon, prices most lots by the hundredweight, and settles consignors before everyone goes home. Generic auction tools fight that pace; Unovance is built for it.
The platform captures scale weights and head counts at sale time, calculates the gross on every lot automatically, and runs a live simulcast ring so seat buyers and online order buyers bid against each other on the same animal. Bred-cow specials, genetic sales, and horse auctions can run as timed online events from the same calendar.
Behind the ring, you control buyer credit, consignor accounts, yardage, commission, and vet fees — and you produce settlement statements the day the sale closes. Most important, the brand and the buyer relationship are yours: order buyers register with your barn, and that data never belongs to a marketplace.
Built for the realities of the sale ring.
Weight & head-count pricing
Sell cattle by the hundredweight or by the head, capture scale tickets at sale time, and let the platform calculate the gross automatically so the ring keeps moving.
Recurring sale-barn schedules
Set up weekly feeder sales, monthly bred-cow specials, and seasonal horse auctions once — then run them on a repeating calendar without rebuilding the catalog every week.
Buyer credit & approved limits
Pre-approve order buyers, set per-buyer credit limits, and flag accounts before they bid so the auctioneer knows who is good for the lot before the gavel drops.
Consignor settlements & checks
Track each lot back to its consignor, apply yardage, commission, and vet fees, and produce clean settlement statements the same day the sale closes.
Frequently asked questions
Does the software handle pricing by weight?+
Yes. Livestock lots can be priced per hundredweight or per head, with scale weights entered at sale time. The platform multiplies weight by the bid to show the gross instantly, which is essential for fast-moving feeder and fat-cattle rings.
Can I run a weekly sale barn on a recurring schedule?+
You can. Define your regular feeder sales, bred-cow specials, and horse auctions once, then run them on a repeating calendar. Consignments, run order, and buyer accounts carry forward so each sale day is a fast setup rather than a full rebuild.
Which auction formats fit livestock selling?+
Live webcast and hybrid simulcast formats fit the sale-barn ring, letting in-house and online bidders compete on the same lot. Timed online auctions suit bred females, genetics, and horse sales. All formats run from the same branded platform and bidder base.
Do I own my buyer data and brand?+
Yes — that is the core of the Unovance model. Your sale barn keeps its own brand, bidder relationships, and buyer data instead of renting an audience from a marketplace. Order buyers register with you, and that relationship stays yours sale after sale.
