Bid Matrix — Profit / Loss per Head

How your profit or loss per head changes with what you pay (delivered cost, down the side) and what you sell for (sale price $/cwt, across the top). Green = profit, red = loss. Your entered scenario is outlined.

Save Preference

Give it a name to help you remember the parameters — you can have as many as you like.
Pick one per preference. A preference works on both the Auction and Country tabs.

Feeder — Sex

Check one or more. Match is "any of" — Heifers OR Spayed Heifers. Leave empty for any sex.

Feeder — Type / Stage

Check one or more. Match is "any of" — Weaned Calf OR Yearling. Leave empty for any type.

Feeder — Weight Range

Optional. Leave both empty for any weight. A min only = that weight and up; a max only = that weight and down. For auction lots with a min/max range, any overlap counts.

Feeder — Programs

Optional. Match is "all of" — the cattle must carry every program you check (extras on the listing are fine). Leave empty for no program requirement.

Breeding — Sex / Class

Check one or more. Match is "any of". Leave empty for any class.

State Preferences

Default is all states. Check specific states to narrow it — match is "any of". For auction lots this matches the sale barn's state; for country listings it matches the cattle's point-of-delivery state.

Barn Preferences

Looking for specific sale barns? Pick them here and leave states empty to follow just those barns, anywhere. If you set both states and barns, a lot must match both.
