[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1843062, member: 25884"] Agree [USER=8993]@kenny thomas[/USER] , if you are going to have the bigger sizes, they need to be in 1/2 or full load lots.... or go to a graded sale where the yard will put together a semi load with only 1 or a couple consignors to go to a buyer... they know the buyers and have orders and the one yard where we sold the graded ones 2 weeks ago, they put together a load with just 3 consignors and the one guy that we were talking to, said that they would bring more money that way than if they had sold as just the smaller group by themselves, because this buyer trusts the sale barn to put together a good group.... this from years of buying there and getting good cattle. So we felt fortunate that they put ours in with that group. I still think the price per head total consignment costs were high... 1500 for the 28 we sold... at the graded sale; but we at least got those heavier weight ones sold and did not get a lessor price at the regular sale where that size does not sell as well.... We basically have the cattle lots now to handle 30+ head.... determined by the bunk space.... because the lots are a couple acres..... so room for them except at feeding time, where the bunk space available is the limiting factor. They have hay available, but they crowd the bunks for the silage he is feeding. [/QUOTE]
