[QUOTE="cattleman99, post: 1818162, member: 14530"] The day of the auction mart productions sales are headed the same way as the dinosaurs. Cost wise a producer can cut 10k or more off his costs. Trucking, hotels, meals and auction mart rental add up. Absolutely everything here both female and bull sales is videoed and online. A lot of guys are online only now. Especially the small guy with 20 head or less. You bid for 2 or three days and no auctioneer. Everything is timed. Like I said I prefer video. Mostly for the same reasons some of you hate them. It’s easier to walk into a pen of 40-50 bulls and pick out the high headed ones or the ones that always shy to the far end. You can walk them and compare a lot easier rather than try to compare one in a pen of 4 to another 10 pens down. Plus the dam and sire are often a pen or two over. Then walk in the shed grab a bite to eat and bid. Plus I can take my jacket off and not freeze my butt off like I do in some of the sale barns and auction marts whee it never really warms up on a -30 day [/QUOTE]
