[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1236049, member: 498"] What I am saying is that a pair will come in. The auctioneers says I reserve the right to split them. Then he starts selling them. Lets say he tries to start them at $2000 and then drops back to $1500 to get a bid. Then maybe gets a bid or two but still less than they are worth to split. he will stop and say $2000 or I will split them. If nobody is willing to give that $2000 he will just sell the cow by the pound and then sell the calf. Remember he announced that he reserved the right to split them and he is acting on that reserved right which was announced. Pairs with an old cow or a really big heavy cow or with a big calf they split as they come in. They never see the ring as a pair. Cows go to the weigh pen and calves go to the small calf pen. One would have to be at the loading dock and write down back tag numbers when they come in to ever put them back together. [/QUOTE]
