[QUOTE="Logan52, post: 1807879, member: 32879"] In our area, it seems bred cows or cow and calf pairs sell best in groups of two to four, but singles seem to do fine. For yearlings or long weaned calves the truck load lot far outsells singles or small groups. Even for bawling calves weaned on the trailer, it helps to have a group six to ten well matched calves. When I first got a computer and began to watch auctions on line, I was amazed to see yards in Texas and the south sell all their calves one at a time. What is the perceived advantage in this? With calves that match up well, I would think they should do better in groups. I might add that weigh cows almost always sell one at a time. [/QUOTE]
