[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1826696, member: 40587"] Correction. I was watching the ring camera on the auction site, and thought the calf weighed 240. That was the next one. This one was 345! Scot's brother was at the sale, and I was on the phone with him and got him to bid. He called me on his way home and told me what the calf really weighed. Cool!!! They do something at this sale I have never seen. I thought they were gonna start out with head cows. 1st cow in the ring was a 1500lb black cow Her bag looked like it would bust. She had obviously just had a calf pulled, but no o0e said anything. She brought .78/lb. Before they let her out, they ran a 250 lb black calk in, and sold it by the pound too. Baby was way to young to wean. Then , they totalled up what both brought by the pound, added $20 to it, and that was the starting bid for the pair. The pair sold by the head. They did a bunch of them that way. Most ended up selling by the head, but a few got busted up by the pound. After a while, I decided I kinda like it that way. Maybe not so much as a buyer, but a seller ends up getting the best price for his cattle that way. [/QUOTE]
