Was at an auction, bought three bred cows, so auctioneer had my name no problems, yet. Then bred cow with calf on ground came thru the ring, won the bid, auctioneer called my name. Then long pause, bred cow with calf was brought back into the ring, seems the wrong calf was paired to the cow. Second cow with calf was brought into ring and the calf's were paired to the correct cows. Not a dimes difference between the calves. Then the cow that I had just bought was "resold" for two hundred dollars more than I just own bid on. Never asked if I still wanted cow/calf.
Was this right way to have handled this or should the original sale with corrected calf been honored?
Everyone I know has never had or seen this happen to them so no history there. Just wondering what would have been right.
