Yes, there are bad cows that come to the sale. However, nime times out of ten it is glaringly obvious why they are there. If it is Stocky or CB or me sitting there when Holly's baaaaaad cow come through she will just go get her head cut off which is where she belongs. That is unless there is someone there who doesn't pay attention to the cow when she come through and gets caught up in the low price. It amazes me how many people go to the sale and don't pay attention to what is going on. Watch good cow buyers and they are focussed on the cows and paying very little attention to the auctioneer. Backyarders focus on the auctioneer and pay very little attention to the cows.
Last week at the Friday sale a cow came through that was obviously very mean. After she treed the ring men she was trying to get to the people in the front row. I sat on my hands as did the bred cow buyers sitting near me. The kill cow buyers got out bid by a woman who was planning to take her home and milk her! After they turned her off the scale she rolled one of the workers down the alley. I wouldn't have wanted to milk her is a squeeze chute with a leg tied up. So the next day at the Saturday sale here is this cow. And the woman is there complaining that they should let everyone know when there is a mean cow in the ring. Gee lady maybe you should have taken a hint when the cow cleared the ring. Or maybe when she is beating her head against the rails trying to get to the front row. Then she was complaining that she just wanted to break even......the auctineer said don't we all.
