[QUOTE="simme, post: 1818124, member: 40418"] Another issue is the number of people required to get the cattle from the pens to the sales ring in the correct order without holding up the sale. Then the people working the gates in and out of the ring, the person in the ring turning the animal and the people penning the cattle as they exit the ring. Takes a good sized coordinated crew to work all that. Especially with matching the cattle order to the sales order. For a video sale, serious buyers should study the videos and pedigrees prior to arrival, view lots in the pens prior to the start of the sale, select lots that will work for them, make notes on those lots, maybe rate/score those lots. Overall there is plenty of time for evaluation/selection with a video sale. Then there is still the opportunity for making an emotional decision during the sale with the bid takers whooping and hollering. [/QUOTE]
