[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1653685, member: 498"] Here the cattle are sorted by sale yard employees. Some are real good, some not so much. I have seen cattle cut out in the ring for about every reason you can think of. Color, too big, too small, horns, unwanted cross breed, sickly looking, etc etc. They do it a lot quicker for big buyers but money talks. And if has to be done early on before they get hooked up in the bidding. If the auctioneer wants $1.25 and doesn't want to cut one out. Offer $1.30 with one cut out. Watch how fast that calf gets cut out. Also if you see something which doesn't belong and they won't take it out make it noticed that you will just keep your money in your pocket. Last week at that long feeder sale I was at I was sitting beside a buyer. He asked for two reds to be cut out about 20 blacks. For what ever reason the auctioneer wouldn't do it. The buyer softly said to me it is getting late everyone is grumpy. Then in those few seconds of quiet as one bunch is herded out of the ring and the next group brought in he loudly said I would have paid a lot more for the blacks. He didn't shout but loud enough I am sure they heard him. After that they listened to him more and cut a few out when he asked them to. [/QUOTE]
