[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1845996, member: 40587"] Back when we had a huge Saturday sale in this county...the largest cattle sale in north Ga... people would bring cattle in Thursday night, Friday, and Friday night, and this was viewed as a PLUS when they sold Saturday. They called it dry-lotting, and the auctioneer would actually announce how long they had been there. Dry-lotted cattle would bring a little more per pound that those loaded up and brought to the barn Saturday morning. A gallon of urine is 8 pounds, Dunno what a wet cow turd weighs, but I could see how a good crap or two would take 20 lbs or so off. So, I guess it made sense that a dry lotted cow would bring more er pound, I do remember that the pens they went to after they left the ring, had hay and water in them. so they didn't suffer all that long. Head cattle had hay and water in the pens that they went in after they were tagged in, as well. [/QUOTE]
