When you take your cattle to an auction, does your yards sell them in the order that they were brought in or in some other order?
The reason I ask is that we have hauled calves to a yard and made sure they were there the evening before so that they could (presumably) sell in the feeder sale the next morning. More than once they have changed sale order and pushed the calves to after the lunch break claiming that more feeders were still coming in and they could keep them together. The last time we hauled some in, more than 22 hours after we dropped them off they still hadn't sold. Any thoughts??
