[QUOTE="TheBullLady, post: 127434, member: 173"] I've had my fair share of auctions as well. Started out buying baby calves at the local livestock auctions up north.. learned a LOT the hard way! Bought two heifers "per head" instead of both in the ring for the same price.. :oops: . The auctioneer ran two steers in the same group in and asked if I wanted to give the same for them. haha. Now I got to registered sales, and it's pretty much the same deal. If you're in the registered business, you should have a pretty good idea what you'd give for a particular animal based on the information in the catalog, and then backing that up with the animal itself! I can't help but comment on the "little woman" comment made earlier. Interestingly enough.. I find that MEN are generally more competitive at the auction ("oh no, that so-and-so isn't going to BEST me") and I've seen men run stuff up more than women do! And as a side note, when my husband goes with me to a sale, and there's a female I particularly like, if I give up the bid, he'll pick it up for me! Do I have him trained, or WHAT? :) [/QUOTE]
