Streamed and timed online auctions for livestock sales

允许网上参与牲畜市场拍卖。一千年来，市场上的公开拍卖一直以大致相同的方式进行。由于成本和惰性，在线参与一直受到阻碍。新冠肺炎疫情的封锁限制了能够亲自参加拍卖的人数，因此现在必须引入在线解决方案来补充所提供的实体服务。有了公众的支持和新进入者，我们还可以解决成本问题。这不仅将在封锁期间为农民提供服务，还将为未来整个供应链提供一个更有效的牲畜交易平台。

Allowing online participation in livestock market auctions.These have been conducted in broadly the same manner for a thousand years with public auctions at the Market. Bringing online participation to these has been hampered by cost and inertia.The Covid-19 lockdown restricts the number of people who can physically attend the auctions and so there is now an imperative to bring in an online solution to complement the physical service offered. With public support and new entrants we can also address the cost issue.This will not only serve farmers through the lockdown, but provide a platform for more efficient trading of livestock to the benefit of the whole supply chain in future.
