March
2nd, 2012 Sale
WILL NOT be viewable on
DISH Network Channel 219
NOTE:
Because the DISH TV signal is
digitally encoded and makes two round-trips to space, a DISH Network broadcast can have a lag time
('latency') of as much as 3-5 seconds from the real time of
the sale. If you plan to be bidding on cattle and are watching WVM on DISH Network,
please turn down your TV volume and listen to the sale through the telephone or the
WVM rep at the sale site.
Until
early 2012, WVM sales will continue to be available on C-Band
satellite dishes (the big ones).

satellite)
While continuing to broadcast on DISH...in early 2012, we will be switching
to Ku-Band satellite transmission and will no longer be using C-Band for
transmission.
We
also remain very excited about the possibilities the Internet has opened up for
marketing and many other aspects of the cattle industry. With a broadband Internet connection, you can view Western Video
Market auction
broadcasts on the Internet
...in very nearly REAL TIME.

We have also enabled Internet Bidding as well as phone bidding for all WVM sales.

We
feel strongly about the benefits of the video cattle auction and believe that
selling cattle by video should remain affordable and accessible for Western
cattlemen. We
appreciate the support we've received over the years from both buyers and sellers and
we believe all the outlets mentioned above make Western Video Market auctions
available to as many of you as possible.
We
appreciate what you all do for us. Thanks!
