[QUOTE="CowCop, post: 63727, member: 1049"] HI All, In watching the spectacular cattle auction on the RFD channel, I am usually baffled by some of the auction language. I quickly jotted some phrases down this afternoon Can you explain the following: 4 cent slide weigh em on the ground ( as opposed to weighing on the truck ? ) 5 back PRECON--I assume it means preconditioned--but what exactly does it consist of ? 10 to the store ( I think they meant 10 miles to the feedyard or slaughter facility--just a guess--but what is the sifnificance of this info? There are a bunch of others, but I wasn't fast enough-- so if you can list the other expressions, and explain them, I would appreciate it. I hate being in the dark~! From what I saw today 700-735 lb heifers were bringing $98-102/100 wt ALOT of Charolais~!! RED cows were the 2nd most popular and then Blk Angus Heifers with "ear" brought alittle less, even if they were black. Just wondering if these prices reflect the prices in your area/salebarn. Heifers are about $70 /100wt right now in this area. Also, The auctioneer went on and on about a group of wonderful Braunveigh sired heifers . Also wondering if anyone on this list has this breed. The Braunveigh group brought $99, even though they were certified natural. [/QUOTE]
