The smarter way to forward sell livestock

Introducing Forward

Forward+ connects vendors, agents and processors through a simplified forward‑selling model—delivering improved supply certainty and greater control over the trading process all within a trusted, integrity‑driven platform.

Agents, on behalf of their vendors, can now list prime lamb on a newly built listing platform. Processors can view, evaluate, and submit offers on available listings.

Once an offer is made, the agent can review and accept it, making the process simple and streamlined — designed to enhance connections and improve overall efficiency.

Customer Testimonials

STAR
“The whole process, from putting them on, to accepting and delivering was seamless. I think the best part is that the buyers don't know what other guys are bidding, so everyone's just putting their best foot forward to know what they're getting. It just gives, the vendor a bit of confidence in the system.”

“It's a simple, straightforward system that’s genuinely user friendly. It was very, very easy to enter an assessment.The process was seamless. We had numerous offers and could choose trucking dates to fit in with the rest of our livestock program. It was very, very user friendly."
