I would like to take this time to introduce to you the website that is one of the hottest sites out on the web that is advertising and selling for cattle producers all over the U.S. 

There are so many things available on Advantage Cattle Services and I will talk briefly about some of the many facets to this site.

The Catalog Listing is no longer available.

The On-Line Auction Listings is the e-bay of the cattle world.   For the Auction Listing an introductory fee of $25.00 places your livestock, semen, and embryo sales on ACS. This includes 1 photo provided by the seller. Additional photos will cost $10.00 per photo. The producer receives 90% of their semen, and embryo sales and 95% of their livestock sales. ACS receives the balance. Livestock can be sold as an individual animal or groups. Individual animals may have a picture, pedigree, and EPD information as the aforementioned; however, the groups will be marketed as a single entry. The seller sets the Start Bid. The Start Bid is for the entire package offered not per unit basis. For example: if you have 10 straws of semen for sale and you want to sell it for $5.00 a straw the Start bid would be $50.00. In the event of no bids on the listing there is no commission charged.

To advertise on the Production Sales the cost is $50.00 to advertise. We can put a link to where ever you sale is advertised. The Production Sale page is pretty well self explanatory where you can advertise your up coming production sales.

To advertise in the ACS Classifieds the cost will be $10.00 per item per month for text that can contain about 50 words. An additional $10.00 per month allows you one picture per ad. All content must be PG rated. ACS receives 10% of all semen and embryo sales and 5% of livestock sales. 
Until further notice Semen and Embryo ads will be posted free for one month. 
This does not include a picture, that will be the same charge for pictures listed above.
This does not include Semen ads out of your own herd sires, it is for semen that you have purchased.  
The cost to advertise semen sales out of your own herd sire is the same as printed above and goes on the Herd Sire page. 

The Links page is helpful tools for the cattle producer. Gestation table, weather loops, markets and more. 

Now for the vehicle that is making ACS one of the hottest websites going. Becoming an ACS Associate. The advantage of becoming an ACS Associate is, we take what you have to say directly to the homes of thousands of cattle producers by our newsletter (e-mail blasts). We have people signing up everyday to receive this e-mail blast. People just see the merit that ACS has to offer. This e-mail blast goes out every Friday and sometimes on Wednesday as well, telling people what is new on ACS or what the ACS Associates have to offer. 

It is one of the most powerful tools in the beef industry today as far as advertising your genetics to thousands of progressive cattle producers across the country.

It just makes no sense to spend the money on creating and keeping a website updated, then putting it out on the web with the millions and millions of other websites and hoping people will find you. Even if you are on a page with hundreds of websites of the same nature, hoping to gain more traffic to your site, you know as well as I do that people are not going to look at each and every one of them on that page, looking for something new, unless you spend more money in advertising, telling people to look at what is new on your website. At ACS, we take your site directly to the people who are in the cattle business through our e-mail blast.

By becoming an ACS Associate, any time you want to tell them what you have for sale or bring to their attention something that you want them to see on your website, simply e-mail me at sales@advantagecattle.com and I will include that in the e-mail blast for that week.

No other cattle website does this that I am aware of, nor lets you speak directly to other cattle producers by an e-mail. It is a powerful tool and it works.

If you have an existing web site the cost to become an ACS Associate is a one time charge of $50.00 to hook it up to our ACS Associate page and $120.00 per year to leave it on ACS for 12 months. We no longer offer a 6 month plan. You will be placed on the ACS Associate page that when people can click on your farm or ranch name, it takes them directly to your website. 

If you do not have a web site, I recommend you contact someone who builds web pages and get your self a web site.

After your site has been created you then can become an ACS Associate by paying the above Associate fees and we will hook up your site on the ACS Associate page when you e-mail us your URL.

It is the Sellers responsibility to get to ACS all the information, updates, or changes of their products listed on the ACS site. The Seller can pay listing fees by a personal check. Normally the commission fees are deducted from the cashiers check that is sent to the seller from ACS when the product is sold but if the buyer pays the seller directly, the commission fees may be sent by the Seller to ACS by cashiers check, or personal check.
Buyers Responsibility
The shipping of semen, embryos, and livestock is at the Buyer's expense and risk. ACS claims no liability or warrants any products whatsoever. ACS is not a Shipper and recommends insuring your purchases if at all possible in case of damages, negligence, or loss. The shipping instructions entered by the Buyer, will be e-mailed or faxed to the Shipper. The Buyer must pay the shipping cost to and from destinations to the Shipper not to ACS. The Buyer may pay for the products purchased from the ACS site by certified check, or personal check if pre approved. If paid by personal check the shipment may be held until the personal check clears the bank. All payments are to be mailed to the address that will be sent to you from an ACS e-mail bill.

Thank you for your time and we are looking forward to doing business together.
