[QUOTE="talltimber, post: 1254860, member: 22236"] The two closest barns to me, one weighs up before, one weighs in the ring. Either one is fine. It's been a long time ago, but remember one being a weigh after. Calves are sold here by owner, no co-mingling on sale day that I'm aware of, officially. There may be some guys bringing calves the same day and selling together, but I'd say that was not common. Standard is to sort according to owner. Say a load of fifteen, cut heifers and steers, then cut to size if necessary. You wouldn't want to buy a set of four steers, two 500 and two 350, and pay a 425 price on the 500's or receive a 425 price on the 350s. They don't match anyway, so it doesn't really help anyone. I have heard rumor of a Joplin hub not far from me and I don't know how they do it there. These guys may be pooling to send out there. You'd have to have your individual weights to do that though and unless they get them out there a day or three in advance I'd say that would make for some slow progress when you sell in the thousands every week.
