[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1653721, member: 39695"] Your right Dave money talks. When I was a little kid or maybe before me. The sale barn I sorted at was owned by the sale managers father. He sat next to the auctioneer and set the price on what ever was in the ring. I have always heard the story that one day the packet buyers were visiting and not bidding like he thought they should. So with 200 fats left to sell he not so politely told all the buyers that if they weren't there to buy cattle then the sale was over, and that he had just bought the rest of the sale so they all needed to go home! Then he went around to the stand, shut the lights off and went on the office. The buyers only control a sale of you let them. I saw a lot of nights where the sale barn would buy 1/3 of a feeder sale or more. Just to protect the sellers. They would ship the cattle to KS to a feed lot out there. [/QUOTE]
