[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1186371, member: 16453"] Yeh, I hear you talk about your salebarns, great to see some photos of the setups. We have more open air saleyards where the selling is done at the individual pens. The auctioneer operates from walkways above the pens and the buyers move along the laneways between the rows. At some of the better yards the buyers lanes have some roofing over them and there are some new big regional saleyards that are now under a big steel roof but the selling is just the same at the individual pens. I'll have to get some photos and show you guys of our setup. Most of the saleyards are owned by local councils and a yard fee is charged on each animal. Multiple agents sell at the yards on the same day. Our local yard at Warwick will usually have about 6 different agents selling and operates weekly with an average yarding of about 1200- 1500 head. Big yards like at Roma will usually have 6-8000 go through and with big sell offs with the drought this year I think they broke the 10,000 mark a couple of times. Ken [/QUOTE]
