5 Reserves and Minimum Upsets Notes for Buyers and Seller

A Minimum Upset - is the minimum price, set by the Breed Societies, below which animals cannot be sold . If your breed has a Minimum Upset, it will be published at the beginning of the breed section.

Reserve Prices - All vendors are entitled to place a reserve on their animals. A reserve is the price below which the seller it not prepared to sell.

The Reserve acts like a bid , so the auctioneers can ‘run’ a single bidder up to that reserve price. Auctioneers cannot ‘run’ a single bidder if there is no reserve.

How to place a reserve - Sellers should place the reserve with the auctioneers before the sale. Clearly write the lot number and the price in Gns, below which you will not sell , and hand it to the auctioneer before they start selling your sheep . The sale will be noisy so do not attempt to give verbal instructions.

Groups - Groups of ewes are sold at a price per sheep, regardless of the size of the group.

Private Sales – If your sheep does not sell under the hammer, but someone offers to buy it after the sale, you are permitted to do this. However you MUST put the sale through the auctioneer’s office . Animal movement records to and from markets are strictly controlled and monitored. It also means that the market collects the funds and passes them to you safely. Animals sold in this way are not included in the breed averages and are not subject to Minimum Upset prices.
