[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1769001, member: 498"] Price were sure good today. They said they had 2,700 head of feeder cattel plus cows and bulls. It doesn't take too long to sell when they are selling 40, 50, and more at a time. All the sales around here have ring scales so they are weighed at the point of sale. I think the scale will weigh up to 30,000 pounds. They would run in a ring full, weigh them, run them out and the next ring full in. When they got to the last of an owners calves in thqat size they would sell them all in one bunch. I watched 135 640 pound calves sell in a single lot (87,030 pounds) for $1.8225. 184 black heifers weighing 616 sold for $1.755. That was 5 drafts for a total weight of 113,275. Over 100 mixed steers (red, black, and Char crosses) weighing 705 brought $1.86. The auctioneer announced that the ranch had 400 head there. For you ear cattle lovers.
