01
Get verified
Create a free account. Sellers submit documentation — USDA Farm ID, brand registration, or breed-association membership — before they can list.
02
Deal direct
List with pedigree, EPDs, photos, and video. Buyers message you privately — no auction ring, no commission, your contact stays yours.
03
Close it clean
Agree terms in-app and close with a generated bill of sale. Inspect at pickup, settle by cashier's check or wire.
Free tool — no signup needed
What does the sale barn really cost you every year?
Commission, yardage, hauling, and shrink come off your check quietly, load after load. Slide these to match your operation — the math runs right here in your browser. Nothing is stored or sent.
Your operation
Rough is fine. You can fine-tune as you go.
What a typical head brings you.
Most barns run 3–8% of the sale price.
Weight lost hauling & standing in pens, sold by the pound.
In a normal year, the sale barn takes about
$12,240
That's about $306 off every single head.
Over five years, that's $61,200 — before a single thin sale day or a buyer who didn't show.
Selling direct on American Cattle Union, you set the price and keep 100% — no commission, no percentage, ever.
No commission, no percentage, and no per-sale fee — listing and selling here are free while the marketplace is being built.
