[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 961256, member: 18809"] Now this is just rude! Your an idiot for flying off the handle and making that kind of statement. Maybe they do things different out here in Missouri (for the better, obviously!) but as I stated earlier I DID NOT COMPLAIN! I just wanted to know why the calf was .35 cents lower than everything else (over 4000 head) that sold that day and how to improve my odds when I brought more cattle (since the calf I sold earlier in the year was on the low side of prices also). I have a job, so there was no way to stay and watch the calf sell when they are selling over 4000 in a day and I have no clue when my calf was selling. Joplin is a huge stockyard, and they sell thousands of cattle in a day. They know their business, and that is to get the best price for cattle. Out here, people are courteous to others and will spend hours just talking about cattle. This nice guy even went into great detail about making sure my calves were not overly fat next time because the buyers shy away from that, and was just trying to give good solid advice for us. Oh, and the buyer was THERE that day, buying more cattle. So he called him over the MIC to get him to come to the office, and I could hear the conversation in the room while I was on the phone on the other end. He asked him if he remembered WHY the calf was priced at the bottom, not how much he paid. Anyone who knows anything about big stockyards know there is buyers there buying all the time for different clients! So just go climb back into your hole and complain about something else; it is not wanted in this thread! [/QUOTE]
