[QUOTE="GotMyHandsFull, post: 1252646, member: 23337"] I don't mean any disrespect, but if you chose not to sell your cattle that day, did you end up spending and risking more in the long run than what the buyer was offering that day? You had: (1) the expense of hauling them to the auction...fuel, wear and tear on your vehicle, etc. (2) the expense of then hauling them back home (3) the risk they were exposed to something contagious at the sale barn and bringing that back to your herd (4) the weight loss from the stress of being loaded and unloaded twice in the same day and from being at the sale barn most of the day (5) even if you pulled them from the auction, I'm assuming you still owed some small amount to the sale barn for yardage and insurance for the time they were on the other fellow's property (5) the expense of hauling them to a second sale hoping to get a better price. As some others have said, I've never seen a seller stand up and call out "no sale." I have heard the auctioneer announce a reserve, but that's it. [/QUOTE]
