[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1811800, member: 498"] They all do here. But I haven't seen any fats at the sale in a lot of years. The one exception is Toppenish. They are in an area of mega dairies. On Monday they just sell kill cows. On Thursday they start about 10:00 with kill cows. Stop selling cows about 1:00 and start selling calves, then bred stock, and and after that finish up on the kill cows. On Saturday they sell pigs, sheep, goats, some sorry calves, and anything else which comes in. I have been told that if I went on Saturday I would be one of the three people who just speak English. The two sales I attend here sell the few horses, sheep and goats first. Then they sell calves and yearlings. Then pairs and breds unless it is a stock cow special in which case they sell the stock cows ahead of the calves. Cull cows are always last. Starting in September until about February they will run 2,000+ head a week at both sales. I have never seen a pig at either sale. The last Thursday of the month is sheep special at La Grande. There are some big commercial flocks in that area. Sometimes it is a good idea to avoid the front end of that sale. Several hundred sheep. The good thing is they sell sheep in large bunches. [/QUOTE]
