[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1242412, member: 5381"] I am mixed on the deal. I have seen it on packer cows where the owner was bidding and the auctioneer seemed to drop the hammer quicker when he had the high bid. In other cases it is much to the advantage of the seller that someone will put in a floor when nobody wants an animal. A few years back I went to a large special sale that lasted way into the evening. Most of the crowd had left and there were not enough buyers left for the remaining cattle even though they were decent quality. The sale barn owner would not let them go off for less than they were worth. He had to buy most of the last 50 cows. I gained a lot of respect for the man that day and it changed my thinking on sale barn owners bidding on cows. [/QUOTE]
