Search, filter, sort, and choose columns

Narrow a large Angus catalog without losing the fields that matter to you.

  1. Open Filter Section when you need to filter EPD, actuals, or birthdate.
  2. Filter with the bull, sire, dam, or entire-pedigree search field for a more targeted search. Results narrow as you type.
  3. Open Column selector, add or remove comparison fields, move them into the order you want, and select Done to apply the layout.

Review identity, photos, pedigree, EPDs, and all related marketplace listings.

  1. Select a bull row in the search table and confirm the registered name and number at the top of the detail view.
  2. Use the photo arrows to review visible photos. In the pedigree, a linked name and checkmark means that animal has its own complete detail page.

  4. Use the Semen, Embryo, or Live Cattle listing tab to view offerings, then use the listing action that matches what you want to do.

  2. Use Listing category to show all listings or just semen, embryos, or live cattle, then choose the sort order you prefer.

Add and manage semen listings

Create one listing or use the bulk sheet, then manage it from your inventory cards.

  1. Open Semen Listings. For one offering, start typing the bull name or registration and select the matching complete bull record if it appears.
  2. Enter the semen type, pricing choice, available units, minimum purchase, fulfillment, and exact storage location that buyers need.
  3. Add listing-specific photos and a short Photo Note when helpful. Photos remain controlled from the completed bull record and are approved by an administrator.
  4. Submit for review, or use the bulk template for multiple rows. Your listing cards show status and animal identity on the left, with details, compact photo controls, and Edit beside them. Rejection feedback is marked in red.

Add and manage embryo listings

Match sire and dam records, add mating details, and follow review status.

  1. Open Embryo Listings and start with the sire and dam. Select the matching completed record when one exists; otherwise enter the requested identity details carefully.
  2. Choose embryo type and enter quantity, price, storage location, fulfillment, and any concise comments buyers need.
  3. Submit for review, then use the listing cards to monitor approval, read red rejection feedback, or edit the offering. Use Availability beside the name to mark it sold or reactivate an eligible listing.

Use your Listing Credit Bank

Buy credits together, cover active listings, and choose whether to refill automatically.

  1. Open Seller Workspace → Billing. The small bubble at the top right shows your available credits. Your credit bank is shared across semen, embryo, and live-cattle listings. One credit covers one listing for a full calendar month; activating mid-month uses only the fraction needed for the days remaining.
  2. Select Buy Credits and choose enough for the listings you plan to activate. Buying several together reduces separate purchases and receipts. Your seller-specific price is shown before payment; unused purchased credits stay in your bank and do not expire.
  3. For automatic purchases, choose a monthly refill quantity in Billing and save it. A new setting starts next month. Refills add that many credits at the start of each calendar month; buy one-time credits for listings you want active now.
  4. Mark a listing Inactive or Sold when it no longer needs coverage. Eligible unused coverage is returned as a fraction of a credit. Complimentary credits cannot be returned as usable credits after the end of October 31, 2026 (Central).
  5. Before renewal, check your balance and active listing count. Set renewal priorities in Billing to keep the listings most important to you covered first. If there are not enough credits after the renewal grace period, uncovered listings become inactive; buy credits and reactivate the ones you want.

Use Seller Insights

See which listings attract attention and where buyer interest is strongest.

  1. Open Seller Insights and wait for the dashboard to finish loading your listing activity.
  2. Choose semen, embryo, live cattle, or the combined view, then select the time period that matches the decision you are making.
  3. Compare meaningful attention signals such as search appearances, listing views, favorites, and buyer contacts. A search appearance is counted when an active listing is visibly shown in a buyer’s results.
