[QUOTE="Logan52, post: 1831386, member: 32879"] I do not want to judge, but I always felt bad when I had a calf bring more than I thought it was worth. I have sometimes informed the yard about a calf or bred cow that I was selling that looked good but might have problems, and they just sort of laughed and said, "It is not a game for boys". A half Jersey, half Charolais I had, sold for top steer price. I had not said a word. I told one of the yard owners who is a close friend afterwards and he said."Whew, they will not like that". Another black steer was small for his age, a borderline or full lunger, that looked pretty good on a cool sale day. I said nothing and he sold real well. I felt bad about it. Sometimes I speak up and they bring more than i thought they would anyway. I kind of balance the times I do not speak up with the times I have bought other people's problems. That is probably not ethical either. I think my reputation is pretty good. Often the auctioneer has let me know with a wink or a nod to stop bidding, that is not something you want. I remain a little naive well into my older years. [/QUOTE]
