How do I verify bloodline claims?

Your stud's reputation is built on years of investment in quality genetics and breeding. When commercial livestock vendors list stock on AuctionsPlus and claim your bloodline, you want confidence that those claims are accurate.

Bloodline Verification puts you in control. With this feature you can:

• Protect your brand — Verify vendors claiming your bloodline, promote accurate claims from commercial buyers

• Promote your genetics — Approved listings display a highly visible "Stud Verified" badge, making your bloodline stand out to quality-driven buyers

• Build your network — See exactly which commercial vendors are using your genetics, track claim volumes, and strengthen relationships with your clients

• Reach new buyers — Buyers can filter and search specifically for "Stud Verified" listings, increasing exposure for vendors who use your bloodline

This feature is available at no additional cost to stud livestock vendors hosting auctions on AuctionsPlus.

Managing Vendor Requests (Vendor Tab)

When a new commercial vendor claims your bloodline for the first time, you will receive a notification and the request will appear in your Pending Vendor Requests section.

Pending Vendor Requests — each request shows the vendor's business name, location, PIC, and their agent's contact details.

How to review a pending request:

1. Go to Dashboard > Vendor > Vendors tab

2. Review the Pending Vendor Requests section

3. For each vendor, you will see:

   • Business Name — the vendor's trading name

   • Location — town and state

   • PIC — the vendor's Property Identification Code

   • Agent — the vendor's livestock agent (expand for phone and email)

   • Listing ID - the listing reference containing claim (click to access further detail)

4. Choose an action:

   • ✅ Accept — The vendor is added to your pre-approved list. All their future bloodline claims will be automatically verified and display the "Stud Verified" badge

   • ❌ Decline — The vendor is NOT added to your pre-approved list. Their listings will NOT receive the "Stud Verified" badge. Their agent will be notified with the message: "Your bloodline claim has not been verified. Please contact the livestock stud for more detail"

Tip: If you decline a vendor and later change your mind (e.g., after speaking with their agent), you can reverse the decision and move them to Approved status.

Managing Approved Vendors

Once you approve a vendor, they appear in the Approved Vendors section. Any future bloodline claims from these vendors will be automatically verified — no further action required from you.

 

 

Approved Vendors table — track each vendor's claim history, location, and PIC at a glance.

The Approved Vendors table displays:

• Business Name — vendor's trading name

• Location — town and state

• PIC — Property Identification Code

• No. of Claims — total bloodline claims the vendor has made

• Last Claim — date of the most recent claim

• Action — option to Remove the vendor

Removing an Approved Vendor

If you need to remove a vendor from your pre-approved list:

1. Find the vendor in the Approved Vendors table

2. Click the Remove (⊖) button

3. The vendor will be moved out of the pre-approved list

What happens next:

• Future listings from this vendor will no longer automatically receive the "Stud Verified" badge

• If the vendor uploads a new listing claiming your bloodline, you will receive a notification to Accept or Decline — just like a new vendor request

---

Reviewing Listings (Listings Tab)

The Listings tab gives you visibility over all recent assessments from your approved vendors that claim your bloodline.

 

 

Recent Vendor Listings — view all assessments from approved vendors claiming your bloodline within the last 6 weeks.

Recent Vendor Listings

This section displays listings from your pre-approved vendors over the last 6 weeks, including:

• Assessment ID — clickable link to the assessment

• Lot Title — description of the lot (e.g., "186 Backgrounder Heifers")

• Business Name — the vendor who claimed your bloodline

• Date Listed — when the assessment was uploaded

• Status — current listing status (Published, Sold, etc.)

• Action — option to Exclude the listing

Excluding a Listing

If you spot a listing from an approved vendor that you believe should not carry your "Stud Verified" badge:

1. Go to the Listings tab

2. Find the listing in the Recent Vendor Listings table

3. Click the Exclude (⊖) button

4. The "Stud Verified" badge will be removed from that listing

Important: Excluding a listing does NOT remove the vendor from your approved list. Their future claims will still be automatically approved. If you want to stop all future automatic approvals for a vendor, use the Remove Vendor action on the Vendors tab instead.

Removed Listings

Listings you have previously excluded will appear in the Removed Listings section. You can re-approve a removed listing (provided the sale has not already passed) to restore its "Stud Verified" badge.

Example mobile push notification — "2 new bloodline claims in this week's W&Y sale. View now."

Types of notifications you will receive: 

How notifications are delivered:

• App push notification — on your mobile device (requires the AuctionsPlus app)

• SMS — to your registered mobile number

• Web — in your AuctionsPlus Dashboard notification centre

What Buyers See — The "Stud Verified" Badge

When you approve a vendor's bloodline claim, a highly visible "Stud Verified" badge appears on the listing's lot tile. This badge is immediately recognisable to buyers browsing the AuctionsPlus catalogue.

 

Lot tile with a single "Stud Verified" badge (e.g., "Te Mania Verified").

 

Lot tile with a "Multi-Stud Verified" badge — displayed when livestock carry multiple verified bloodlines.

Why this matters to you:

• Your stud name is prominently displayed on every verified listing

• Buyers can filter and search specifically for verified bloodlines — increasing the visibility of your clients' listings

• Verified listings can be included in buyers' Saved Searches, meaning buyers interested in your bloodline will automatically receive notifications when new verified lots are listed

• Your brand is reinforced every time a buyer browses the catalogue
