Pigs need to come (and go) with a special pork manifest. We have manifests from Alberta Pork here if you need. These are needed for transportation and are sent to Alberta Pork for traceability.
Pigs also need an identifier - be it a herd marker or an individual tag (preferred). We have the individual tags here if needed.

What do I need to sell small animals at your auction?
Small animals (birds, rabbits, etc) should come in some sort of container that you don't want back - a cardboard box is usually best.
Animals sell best when there is some sort of viewing window in the box - but it isn't necessary.
However, the box does need to be well ventilated (lots of air holes), it can't be over crowded (2 or 3 animals to a box usually sells well) and you should have ample bedding, food and water for them (and allow for weather conditions on sale day as well, including the size/time for the sale)
It never hurts to book in your consignments ahead of time so we can post consignments online!
What do I need to sell equipment at your auction?
To sell equipment we need you to book in ahead of time! In fact, the sooner the better.
The more advertising we can get you, the more bidders we will have at the sale.
If you are selling a registerable item - we need the pink card, and we need you to fill out your portion of a bill of sale BEFORE the sale so that when the item is sold, it is as quick and easy a transaction as possible for the buyer.
