[QUOTE="Stepper, post: 339834, member: 3398"] Frankie, I just have grade cattle and most other farmers in my area have the same type of cattle. And i was just thinking it would be a better way for the average cattle producer to buy and sale cattle saleing at a sale barn like the one i described. I may try to go to that one in Roseville Arkansas on March the 25th that you mentioned just to see how it work. Roseville is just about 10 miles from where i live. But thoes are some high dollar register Black Angus cattle. I have wanted to look some of their bulls over. Surgar Hill Farms is well known here for having some really nice live stock. But with really nice high prices to. You know i dont know if all sale barns are close to the same or not. But at this local one here. There is usually 3 buyers who are almost always there. Well usually there well be 2 of them there at most of the weekly sales. Sometimes just one. And when they are there. It is really hard to buy any 500 to 1000 pounders at a reasonable price. I mean they buy just about everything that comes through. One of the three buys them to put on a feedyard and the other two just buys them for their farms. It really makes it hard for the little guy to buy cattle that way at a auction biding against these fellas. I know it sounds funny but you will hear people talk about how they wait until they leave before they can get to buy anything. But everytime i have been at the sale i have never seen them leave. They buy, buy and buy until the auction is over. One of these buyers who is a cattle farmer has a seat right up front that is reserved with his name on it. Year round. Because he buys so many cattle. I am not complaining about him. I just wish i had his money to buy that many cattle. But it is sure hard to buy anything when he is there.LOL [/QUOTE]
