At 7:45 PM, auctioneer Christoph Niehues-Pröbsting and pedigree reader Dominik Weber welcomed both the online viewers logged in via FarmersBid.com and the guests present in the auction hall last Friday evening. Thanks to the online livestreaming, 31% of the 40 lots were sold through FarmersBid.com. Despite the recent report of foot-and-mouth disease that surfaced last Friday, a third of the lots were sold to breeders from North, South, and East Germany, as well as the Benelux countries. Most of the lots were sold within the RUW district. However, famles purchased by buyers from the Netherlands have not yet been delivered due to the ongoing uncertainties surrounding the foot-and-mouth outbreak in East Germany.
