How to Purchase Bulls
at the Auction if you cannot attend:
1. To Bid via Tel-O-Auction
If you will be unable to attend this sale, you can do
your own bidding via a conference telephone hook-
up. Buyers interested in this option should call the
Virginia BCIA at 540/231-9159 prior to sale day. On
sale day, until sale time, buyers should call 540/547-
2188. You will be assigned a unique bidder number
with which to do your bidding. The sale manager can
answer any questions you might have about using the
telo-auction system. During the sale, bidders should
call 800/309-2350. You will be prompted for an ID
number – enter 4505514 followed by the # key. You
will be asked to state your name and then you should
be connected on the conference line.
