Sale Policies
You may set a reserve price (minimum bid) for your animal by completing a reserve form at check-in. If the animal does not meet the reserve, it will be marked as a “no sale,” but the 10% commission fee will still apply, and the consignment fee is non-refundable.
Consignors who withdraw an entry or sell their animal privately before the auction will not receive a refund and may be banned from future sales.
All animals will be sold by the head, not by weight. Halter-trained animals are welcome to enter the ring, though this is not required.
We ask that consignors only promote animals using the official sale listing link and refrain from private sales ahead of the event.
Breed Standards
The Southeast Highland Cattle Auction is committed to preserving the integrity and authenticity of the Highland breed.
We do NOT support or recognize the breeding, marketing, or promotion of “mini” Highland cattle, as this is neither a natural variation nor an officially recognized size classification within the breed.
Only animals that meet American Highland Cattle Association (AHCA) standards will be accepted for consignment.
We welcome AHCA-registered females and bulls, as well as steers, which may be unregistered.
All animals must still meet the auction’s health and entry requirements regardless of registration status.
Registration Transfers
All registered Highlands must be accompanied by a signed registration certificate at check-in
The seller is responsible for the AHCA transfer fee
$25 if the seller is an active AHCA member
$50 if the seller is not a current AHCA member
Transfer checks must be made payable to AHCA
All transfer paperwork will be completed at the sale
Pickup & Transportation
All purchases must be picked up by 12:00 PM on Sunday, November 2nd, 2025.
Buyers are responsible for arranging transportation. If you need assistance, please contact us in advance — we can connect you with trusted livestock transporters.
Once payment is complete, animals become the sole responsibility of the buyer. Please plan accordingly to ensure timely pickup and proper care.
Participation Disclaimer
We reserve the right to refuse entry of any animal that does not meet our health, registration, or breed standards, or that we determine is not in the best interest of the sale.
Furthermore, any individual who violates auction policies—including but not limited to withdrawing consigned animals without notice, attempting to sell animals privately before the auction, or misrepresenting cattle—may be prohibited from participating in future events.
