[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1204567, member: 1715"] It seems like 1 out of 3 cow sales is a lot lower than the other two. Calf sales are more consistent since there are a lot less weekend ranchers bidding. The time of year and number of cows are hints - - but there is no way of knowing for sure if it is going to a "good sale". The sales barn owners tend to buy heavily at these low sales, and then run "their" cows back through at a later sale... Obviously they do not have to pay commission nor trucking so there is very little transaction cost. Any tips on how to approach this as a small time seller short of bidding to protect your own cows and heifers? Any tips on private treaty sales for a handful of animals? [/QUOTE]
