[QUOTE="marksmu, post: 652901, member: 9219"] Has anyone ever found that a particular individual is frequently shunned at any particular barns? I ask b/c my uncle runs a small herd, and about once maybe twice per year he runs his cows through. Granted they are all Charherfabrangus (at least thats what we call them) he consistently gets much much less than any other seller at the barn. I have not seen his cattle, but the auction report speaks volumes to me at least. He sold 17 cattle 1 month ago with an average weight of 1140 lbs - all 4-7yr heifers. His average was only .39 or about $418 per head. Seems pretty low to me - considering the comments on all show medium to heavy under condition. I asked him for the total results and he gave me a 5 page auction result, and the average sales for all other cattle at the auction that day was .61 and 1104 lbs. Average age was 5. Something seems a bit off - I dont know much bout it, but the only difference I see was the majority of the other cattle were black and his were listed as yellow. [/QUOTE]
