*** IMPORTANT NOTES ***
1) Although it's normally under one second, the video stream may experience a lag from real time (also called 'latency') of up to a few seconds. If you are using the Internet webcast to watch while you bid over the phone, please turn down the volume and let your representative keep you up on the bidding.

2) There have been changes to some of the catalog information for the cattle being sold today. We have tried to stay up with  these changes in the online catalog, but you should listen to the word from the auction block for the most up-to-date information. Thanks!

If you have Flash Player installed, it's a good idea to give the video a test run by going to any lot in the Video Sale Catalog and watching the cattle video to make sure you have the most recent version.

UPDATE for Apple iPad Users: 
For those of you with an Apple iPad...and therefore unable to watch Flash video....
the following iTunes app has been getting positive results and is worth a try.
It's actually a browser that allows Apple product users to view Flash videos:

Western Video has teamed up with California State University-Chico to bring you this auction via the Internet. If you have a broadband connection (DSL, Cable, T-1) you'll be able to watch in very nearly real time. This means you can see and hear the auction with a normal delay of under a second.... and bid on cattle with a telephone call to the sale site. WVM has also recently enabled Internet bidding. Click below for more details.

 The quality of the video you receive will depend on the speed of your Internet connection. A broadband connection (Wireless, DSL, T1, Cable ) will allow you to watch the sale as it's happening. There is also a  Medium Bandwidth  option that allows you to watch the sale with some satellite and other, slower Internet connections. The video will have slightly less clarity than broadband.
