[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1781014, member: 16453"] Our saleyards probably work a bit different to your salebarns. Most are owned and managed by the local municipal council but the selling is done by various agents that operate out of the facility. In my case, my local saleyard has about 6 different agents that I could use, sale day is every Tuesday morning. If I want something sold there and then my agent will endeavour to present it to achieve the best price for it on the day but if I talk to my agent about what I have for sale and I have a bit of time up my sleeve he will advise me of any specialty sales coming up suitable to put them in. Just recently I had a couple of cows to unload that lost calves and Maugan said if I can hold off for a couple of weeks he was putting together a group of similar cows and because of the time of year the buyers for slaughter cows were not turning up but because he put together this group of cows he organised for them to show up and the cows brought $2562 each which was a lot more than what they would have brought if I showed up at the regular sale. I have a lot of confidence in my agent. I don't know if you have the same sort of relationship with the operators of your salebarns there? Yes, I can take them and get an immediate sale but mostly with the help of my agent I will consign them when things are more in my favour. Ken [/QUOTE]
