Last Updated: August 26, 2010

Indirect marketing involves the movement of livestock with the help of an intermediary, or "middle man." The intermediary who assists with this transaction is paid a commission or percentage in exchange for his or her efforts to facilitate the sale. This type of transaction offers an ideal situation for the producers who need to move animals at any given time (Spencer, 2008), but this type of marketing strategy does come with a price.
