[QUOTE="gus2121, post: 1250917, member: 22482"] I was at a sale a couple months ago that usually only sells singles. They brought in about 15 or more calves at one time. They started the bidding and they sold for 2.70. The owner happened to be sitting there and spoke up. He asked why they were being sold in a group. The owner of the barn, who was sitting ringside, said he must have miss understood and thought that is how he wanted it done. The took them all back out and brought them in 1 at a time. They all brought well over 3.10. I over heard the buyer that bought them the first time say " Dang, I had a steal right there''. He didn't buy any of them when they came through as singles. This is one reason I can see for watching them sale, just to make sure everything goes right. Not necessarily to bid to make them bring more. [/QUOTE]
