[QUOTE="Hawk, post: 738734, member: 114"] This subject has literally been beat to death on this board, but I will take a turn at bat again and offer my two cents worth. I have bought and sold cattle in sale barns for years and hope to again. I like sale barns and consider them one of the corner stones of the beef cattle industry. Within 100 miles of my place in North East Texas there are at least 7 sale barns holding weekly sales. Each one of these will sale 1000 to 2000 head on a good day. The vast majority of the cattle are yearlings on the way to feed yards. I have heard the stories that sale barns are just seething caldrons of all manner of vile diseases and all of the cattle are culls and rejects and no competent cattleman would ever consider buying anything from such a terrible place. Well, I beg to differ. If the sale bares were anywhere near as bad as some people claim, they would be out of business in a month. The people offering these opinions are usually the ones that will tell you to come out to their place and they will sell you some good, healthy cows at twice the price. So, I vote for auction barns.
