OUR MISSION STATEMENT 

Click: COOL pdf   COOL doc

To simplify this process we are asking that you sign and return the accompanying Continuous Origin Affidavit. This affidavit allows you to declare the origin of all livestock that you sell and is valid until you revoke or change the affidavit in writing. In other words, if all the livestock that you sell are of USA origin you will only need to sign this Continuous Origin affidavit once, we will keep the record on file and it will automatically declare the origin of all livestock that you sell until you have revoked the affidavit or changed it.

If you do not already have a Continuous Origin Affidavit on file with us when you wish to market your livestock you will be asked at that time to either sign a Continuous Origin Affidavit or a one-time
declaration of origin for the livestock selling that day. It will be important that you, the owner or person with first hand knowledge about the livestock being marketed, sign the affidavit. We will not be able to accept an affidavit signed by a trucker or transporter.

For those purchasing livestock we will provide an origin declaration on your buyer invoice or other
purchase documents declaring the origin of the livestock listed in that transaction. It is very important that you collect a similar declaration from whom ever you purchase livestock and you should keep these
documents on file for one year from the purchase date.

In addition to using an affidavit/declaration of origin, the U.S. Department of Agriculture permits the use of an official ear tag and/or marking on animals that are part of a National Animal Identification System (NAIS) complaint system or other official identification system, such as the Canadian or Mexico official systems. For information on the use of COOL compliant identification systems, we strongly suggest you contact your local USDA Farm Services office.

Please let us know if you have any questions about the implementation of COOL, as we wish to work with you to make this process as workable as possible for all concerned.

Sincerely,
Huss Livestock Market, LLC

From the Desk of Ron & Melvin Huss Technology For Auction Markets

Over the last 28 years, the Huss family has invested substantial dollars in improvements at the Kearney facility to keep it updated, make it more efficient and stay competitive in the livestock auction market business in Nebraska.
Now we are investing in technology as we bring to you our auctions live on the internet. We believe strongly that the only true price discovery method of marketing your livestock is the auction method. Direct trade and internet only sales rely on auction markets to establish their bid prices. The loss of major stockyard facilities for fat cattle and the advent of direct sales of hogs have resulted in sales to a limited number of buyers on the bid-ask method. We hope to avoid this happening in the calf and feeder market by expanding rather than shrinking the market.
Huss Livestock Market has incorporated key employees into its operation this past year to provide for a long-term operation. We have also joined with a competitive internet company, www.CattleUSA.com , which includes several large auction markets. This will provide our producers with access to a larger buying audience and our buyers with the convenience of bidding from their home of office whether it is in Nebraska or a surrounding state. After reviewing several internet auction providers, we have chosen the one that we feel meets the needs of the customers of the Kearney and Lexington auction markets.
We are very excited that this will provide another useful tool for our customers, one which will maintain the auction method of true price discovery. We will also have the capability of listing cattle on the internet for future contract delivery as well as video auctions; however, our primary focus is to use the live auction broadcast as our primary internet sales technique.
We are excited to bring this new marketing tool to you. Melvin, with over 50 years experience in the industry and Ron with 28 years have seen many changes, however, neither of us have altered our mission of providing our customers with true price discovery through the auction market method.

Best wishes, Ron & Melvin
