Sale Barn Lingo?

[TexasBred]

If they split the pair and don't get a bid, should the original ''pair'' bidder be on the hook? If you have an honest bid ,then decide to change the rules unannounced you would have some empty seats to fill. Do you think they would treat there order buyers this way, and just tell them to ''suck it up buttercup''.

Naw...they just let the order buyers bring them back into the ring after they have left, said buyer suddenly seeing something wrong with the animal AFTER it has sold and left the ring....they'll often resell it and it will bring about 2/3 of hwat it did the first time. Sad but true..

here if they do not get a bid on a pair they split it , or they split as it comes in the ring , calf is sold immediately after the cow , cow goes out and then calf is sold , when they sell a group it is usually a buyer requesting choice , but most of the time they get what is picked out in the ring , or 1 will be cut back for being bigger or smaller or skinnier or fatter than the rest then sold by it self , or the high bidder can take them all as it is their choice , no vaccs have NV paint stick on them ,sold straight to slaughter and it is announced , months bred is on them in paint ,age is where the line is shoulder ,back
bull is a fist , un pregged cows are at the end unless they are heifers then near the front, open pregged heifers are after bred and pairs or sometimes before , if a noticeable problem it is announced
auctioneer taps his head it is by the head and he will say by the head ,sometimes they will start by the lb and no bids sell by the head instead ,once there is a bid it is sold ,unless buyer sees a problem
then is comes right back , once it has left the out pen gate it dose not come back and you own it or sold it X on a heifer she is a freemartin
