[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1653667, member: 24816"] No, that’s not an option for us peons. In that particular sale the cattle are actually graded, individually by a state grader, and sale committee rep. Obviously they let some things slip. In that stockyards it’s not possible to see the cattle before hand unless you would go the night before the sale. During the few seconds in the ring it’s frantic trying to get the auctioneers attention to take your bid as they are used to mainly taking bids from order buyers. Ion getting the cattle home, I soon found out each time a calf that didn’t match the descriptions. In most cases I just kept them for my herd, the reason I was buying those groups was to sell as bred heifers, in which some of the same graders would have not accepted them at that point because the difference was more pronounced at that older age.
