Each lot has a specific future delivery contract with the Asking price, Offering Expiration Date, Delivery Window, Cattle Details

A Buyer can place bid on the lot at any time it is listed. The bid placed will be considered the offer on the load, There is NOT a poxy bid option, It raises the bid price to the full bid price placed.

If the price bid is the full asking price and the sale is done and the lot is sold to the bidder per the terms of the lot contract.

If the price bid is less than the asking price, K&A will contact the seller to see if they are willing to accept the bid or hold to the asking price. If they decide to accept the bid, K&A will contact the buyer and confirm the purchase.

The seller can choose to accept any bid anytime prior to the expiration date of the lot listing
