Terms and Conditions
Payment will be made in U.S. dollars by check, money order, casher's check or cash, to the consigner of sold lots before delivery of cattle and transfer of registration papers. The transaction is between the buyer and seller. Hereford Breeders Online Auction and iDesign act as an agent only and assume no liability. Any guarantees will be between the consigning breeder and the buyer. Payment and delivery of purchased animals will be between the consigner and buyer.
Our software provides for placing proxy bids. Bidders can place a maximum bid and the software will keep the bid high at the bid increment until the proxy bid is reached. Note*** Maximum bid and proxy bid are the same thing. To place a proxy bid, just enter the maximum amount you are willing to pay. Automatic bids will be placed for you up to your maximum amount. Using proxy bidding, you can win the bid at the lowest possible price. Your maximum bid is only placed when a competing bidder bids the same amount. Please note that if the current high bidder's maximum bid is higher than the bid you place, you are immediately outbid, because your bid is not high enough to beat the earlier maximum bid. Remember; Proxy bidding will confidentially and automatically bid up to your maximum, but in order to avoid being outbid, you must have the highest maximum bid. Proxy bidding bids on your behalf up to your maximum bid.
