[QUOTE="js1234, post: 1255270, member: 17596"] barns here in the west are if i were guessing, 70% the ring is the scale, 30% weighed after they sell. the barns that still operate that way will usually check weigh a large draft (20 head or more) before selling it or the first draft of a different class (switching from yearling steers to yearling heifers as an example).barns out here also dont sell singles until the end of the sale typically but dont sell multiple owners together either. a typical sale would go like this: steer calf pen lots best to worst and smallest to biggest, heifer calf pen lots best to worst and smallest to biggest, yearling steer pen lots the same way then yearling heifer pen lots the same way then work through all the singles in the same order. the best to worst and smallest to biggest is where being a yard that knows how to market and sort cattle comes into play. while its not set in stone, typically even though they work through a class of cattle smallest to biggest, a really good for kind pen lot of 600lbs. steer calves will sell before a plain pen lot of 450lbs. steer calves in most instances. again, none of this is set in stone but the rough outline of how most of larger barns West of the Rockies run.
