Jackpot palpates?

[brandonm_13]

Came across this term from an auction in a different state. I've never heard the term used in my neck of the woods. Could someone enlighten me.

You have my interest. What does jackpot palpate mean and where is the stockyard.

Apparently Giddings Texas. My first thought was palpated and bred cows or heifers...

The cows will be preg checked and jackpoted to be sold gate cut as they sort.

They'll all be put in a big pen and tagged for ownership. They call that the jackpot pen.

In other words
They'll all be pregged day of sale

So with gate cut you might get cows from several ranches? And gate cut you dont choose what you buy?

Ya just never know what will be coming in the ring. However they come outta the big pen. Not sure how they will do that with pairs tho.

I imagine most will be sold as singles.
Not a clue how they would do it with the pairs tho

So you are seeing what your bidding on or not?

Right!

Sometimes they will sell a group. 5 or 6. 2 or 3. All alike. Say 3x4 or 7x7 etc

But they could all be from different owners

So you might get a cow bred Brangus, 1 Angus, 1 Highland, 1 Charolais.

Ahhh yes. There is always that too!!

Since we sell nearly everything as singles, those jackpot pens will have multiple consignors' cattle in them. If a producer has enough animals that will sort up, they may be sorted off and grouped.

Buying bred cows is like looking for the prize in a box of CrackerJacks.

Only now there is no prize... it is a piece of paper so I have been told....in the Crackerjack boxes... with jokes and such on them????

Now that makes more sense.
