[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1808020, member: 5381"] Yes order buying is part of their business. No unions involved. Its been the same for over 100 years so I would guess the sellers are okay with the process. They ran 10,000 on Monday so they must do something right. You pay them to represent your calves and to take care of them until sale time. Its a different set of buyers up there. Its not a few guys in the stands trying to put together a load to resell. My dad said they had the same type of system at the Ft.Worth stockyards when he worked there back in the 50's. Its probably the only yard in OK that works this way but it is also far larger than any others except OKC West. OKC West is similar but they do all of their commission company work in house. Some prefer that barn, other like the stockyards. Maybe the folks that live in OK can give us more info as mine is limited to these two. [/QUOTE]
