[QUOTE="Susie David, post: 165433, member: 1744"] Oh yeah....almost forgot, don't be anxious and stick your hand up as soom as the auctioneer says 'Gimmee one fifty"...he'll be going down when the folks don't bid, when a fair starting value is reached folks will bid. That one fifty steer wil most likely start off at 110 or less. See who is active, the order buyers have a limit and stick to it, regular folks or certain groups can get real expensive quick. If two guys are bidding, stay out of it, if you're bidding with another guy and a new man bids you are going to loose a fresh horse in the race usually has more money to spend and has something to prove. When no one is bidding at all on a perticular animal there is a real good reason, don't think that you are getting a real bargan. There are the weekly traders that buy at one sale and sell a week or even days later at another hoping to make a fast buck. You can tell there are alot of folks that love the song of the auctioneer. Be carefull when you take the wife, mine won't leave until the trailer is full. DMc Up here you can pretty much know who's cattle are being sold 'cause the auctioneer will tell you and like most places some have a better reputation than others and the demand usually reflects this.
