HOW TO PARTICIPATE AS AN ABSENTEE BUYER
We prefer for each of you to be in attendance on sale day. Realistically, we know there will be some scheduling con-
flicts (also known as chores/feeding/day job) and distance limitations. In these cases, we have arranged for you to be
able to participate in the sale on an absentee basis, through Superior or DVAuction.
If possible, we invite you to evaluate the animals prior to sale day, either by a ranch visit or by viewing video of the cat-
tle and horses. We can provide you with a DVD of all the cattle for home viewing. All of the lots in the sale will be avail-
able for viewing online prior to sale day at
