Livestock marketplace software for cattle, sheep, goats and more.
Yclas is livestock marketplace software for farmers, breed societies, sale barns and rural publishers: a livestock classifieds website where every lot carries the head count, breed, age and weight buyers filter on. Map search across the county, verified sellers, timed online auctions and paid featured lots, on your own domain.
Free for 15 days · No credit card · Plans from $19 a month
For the people who move stock every season.
A cattle sale website has to answer the buyer's questions before the phone call: how many head, what breed, how old, how heavy, where, and who is selling.
A livestock marketplace, page by page.

Livestock classifieds with the details that sell stock.
Every species is sold differently, so the fields are yours. Tell the setup wizard what your site sells and it writes up to ten fields for it. Then add or change them: head count, breed, sex, age in months, average weight, price per head or per lot, registered or commercial, polled, due dates, vaccinations, organic status.
- Field types: numbers, ranges, dropdowns, checkboxes, dates and links.
- Fields per category, so a cattle lot asks for weights and a ram for his breed and age.
- Filters on any field, such as "Angus heifers, 12 to 18 months, 20 head or more".
Search by distance from the farm gate.
Haulage is part of the price, so buyers search by distance. Every listing has a location and a pin. Buyers search on a map, choose a radius or sort by distance, and save a search to hear about new lots by email or push the moment they are posted.
- Counties and regions as locations, with towns inside them.
- OpenStreetMap is free; Google Maps with your own key.
- Saved searches with instant or daily alerts.
Fixed price or bids, lot by lot.
Sellers choose a fixed price or a timed auction for a lot. Auctions take a reserve, proxy bids up to a maximum, a buy-now price, and extend when a bid comes in at the last minute. You can let only verified buyers bid.
- Reserve not met and no-bid outcomes handled for you.
- Bid history on every lot.
Shown on Gavel & Gate, our auction demo. Timed online auctions only: there is no live auction ring with video.
Verified farms, reviews and your rules.
Sellers send an ID or a business document from their account; your team checks it, and approved farms get a badge. Buyers rate sellers after a deal. New listings can wait for approval, and AI checks hold anything that breaks the rules you write in plain words, such as "No animals without a location".
- Your own account types, such as Farmer, Dealer and Mart, each approved by you, on Professional.
- Reports queue for listings and conversations.
- Nothing is deleted by AI: a person always decides.

A lot listed in two minutes, from a phone.
Farmers post from their phone between jobs: photos first, then the fields for that category. On paid plans, the AI suggests a title, description and category from a photo, and the farmer checks it before posting.
- Renew and mark sold from My listings.
- Machinery, feed and fencing in their own categories on the same site.
A livestock site of your own, compared.
Many farmers sell through groups and general sites today. Here is what a site of your own changes.

| Your rules on what can be sold | The platform's | The platform's | Yours |
| Income from featured lots | None | Goes to the site | Goes to you |
