HOW IT WORKS

Western Video is teaming up with LiveGlobalBid to bring you a streaming webcast of this auction...via the Internet...in very nearly real time (less than a 1-second delay). This means you will be able to see and hear the auction and use this feature to bid on cattle with a telephone call to the sale site. On the viewing site you will see a BID button, which has been disabled for this sale.

 The quality of the video you receive will depend on the speed of your Internet connection. A broadband connection (Satellite, Wireless, DSL, T1, Cable ) will allow you to watch the sale as it's happening. Dialup connections will either see a slide show (a video still shot that changes every 5-10 seconds) or not be able to view the broadcast. It will depend on your connection speed. 

*NOTE: Satellite or wireless seem to be the only good, high-speed Internet options for people in rural areas of the West.
Try some of these sites for more information on satellite Internet:

From our tests, however, it looks like the audio from the sale should be good quality and very nearly real time with at least a 40K (Kilobits/sec) connection to the Internet. Worst case scenario (under 40K connection), you'll be able to follow the bidding on the sale site by means of a text display.

(the measurement is in Kilobytes/sec, so it will be approximately 10% of the Kilobits/sec measurement)

We'd also appreciate hearing from you and getting your reactions and comments regarding the webcast of the sale. It will help us serve you better in the future.
