"The sale format works very well with no stock leaving the farm until bought and paid for, suiting both buyer and seller," said Hunt.

"The heifers included in the sale are all artificial insemination (AI) bred with the majority back in-calf to AI bulls," he added.

"All heifers have good weights for age and most lots are also genotyped. We have found that auctioning these type of stock online and selling through the MartEye app has been hugely successful for our buyers and sellers."
