Sale Book Production Cycle
You Have Unique Needs. We Have Unique Options.
Traditional Angus Media sale books are designed to meet your needs. This includes all the perks of Pasture to Publish, such as posting on Angus.org and live EPDs. Think of this as our full-service option.
Your outside artist builds camera-ready creative pages for your book, we build pedigree pages like a traditional custom design book. (Don’t worry! We’ll make them match.) Discounted page rates apply to the camera-ready pages designed by an outside artist.
This is for an offering that has a close date and will be published on Angus.org until that sale date. It requires a minimum of four pages and can go up one page at a time thereafter. This book is not printed or mailed. Online only book production time is 10 business days.
This is an option for an offering that does not have an end date. It requires a minimum of four pages, is published on Angus.org for six months, and will not be printed or mailed. Private treaty books include two complimentary 30-minute updates for the six months it is posted online. Edits on additional existing pages are charged at $50 per hour. Pages added to the book will be charged at the private treaty page rate. Update turn-around time is five business days.
Additional lot supplement pages can be added to all custom design and hybrid sale books. Three pages of supplement lot pages can be added for no charge. Four or more pages are charged at the standard page rate.
Annual sire directories are produced like a custom design sale book and are published on Angus.org for one year. Sire directories include two gratis 30-minute updates for the year it is posted online. After that, additional edits will be charged at $150 per page. Update turn-around time is five business days.
Book designed outside of Angus Media. Option to print and mail by Angus Media. Camera-ready books can be posted on Angus.org. Email us at printservices@angus.org.
“We just finished our sale catalog late this afternoon, and I wanted to take a minute to brag on your crew. Like most producers, our whole year is wrapped up in this sale and the catalog that represents it. We are very appreciative of the extra effort and resourcefulness that your team brought to the table in helping us make our vision come to life.”
—Doug Frank, Frank-Hazelrigg Cattle Co.
