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.

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. Click the link below to
check your connection speed so you'll know
what to expect .

(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.
