    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is FarmGate Auctions?

    FarmGate Auctions is Australia’s newest livestock auction mobile app. With just a few clicks assess, market and sell your livestock locally or nationwide without them leaving the paddock.

    Who can use the FarmGate Auctions platform?

    Livestock Agents and Buyers from around Australia are welcome to register. Buyers are required to provide a current registered PIC number to access the FarmGate Auctions platform.

    What can I buy and sell on the FarmGate Auctions platform?

    Both sheep and cattle store stock, breeding stock and stud stock.

    Can I buy cattle and sheep from anywhere in Australia?

    Yes. Our platform is Australia wide.

    How much does it cost to list my stock for sale?

    $7.00 per head for commercial cattle and $0.90 per head for commercial sheep and lambs. Volume discounts apply on application. Please refer to FarmGate Auctions 2019 listing fees for more details. All prices are quoted GST-exclusive.

    When are the Auctions held?

    Cattle sales are held 1pm every Tuesday and sheep sales 11am each Friday. Please note, these days and times are subject to change. View our Upcoming Auctions here. 

    What are the advantages of buying and selling livestock online through FarmGate Auctions?

    Selling online substantially boosts your visibility to buyers. With the FarmGate Auctions app, graziers have the ability to buy and agents can buy and sell livestock wherever they have their iPhone.

    We’re paddock to paddock which reduces the stress and cost often associated with traditional auctions.

    Our Live Auction technology is unique as Lots are sold individually so you don’t have to wait for the whole Auction to finish before you walk away.

    As Australia’s newest livestock online platform, FarmGate Auctions gives you more choice to buy and sell livestock on your own terms.

    Does the mobile app work without connectivity?

    Yes. Parts of the mobile app work without an internet connection. For example Livestock Agents can fill out our Offline Assessment Form and submit it later when back online. Buyers and Sellers must be connected to the internet to participate in a Live Auction, or you can set an auto-bid prior to auction and let our system bid for you.

    What if my Lot doesn’t reach Reserve or is Passed in?

    Lots that don’t reach Reserve or have No Bids will be passed in. Passed in Lots are entitled to a re-offer at a further Auction without charge within the following time limits set out below.

    – Cattle 7 days

    – Lambs 7 days

    – Sheep 7 days

    Otherwise a new Lot assessment must be carried out and the livestock relisted with up-to-date information.

    What happens if I have bad connection through a Live Auction?

    If you are unable to connect during a Live Auction or drop out due to low connectivity, please contact support on +61 8252 6840 to help with your bidding.

    How do I access my results after an Auction?

    The Auction Results tab shows the results for the entire Auction.

    My Auction Results in the My Admin tab are your personal results. Here Buyers can view the Lots they have purchased while Livestock Agents can easily scroll through the Lots they have purchased, sold, withdrawn or that were passed in or had no bid. 

    FarmGate Auctions is an independent, reliable, Australian owned online livestock selling platform delivering the best in mobile technology. With just a few clicks, Livestock Agents can assess, market and sell their livestock without leaving the paddock, creating a better experience for the animals, and helping sellers to save money and time.

    Also available on desktop, FarmGate Auctions provides a streamlined process for buyers and sellers to watch the progress of upcoming and live auctions across Australia, add and manage lots for sale as well as bid for and purchase livestock from the office or on the go.
