Sales canceled

[kenny thomas]

Tonight I have been advised of 2 cattle sales being canceled this week. One in KY and 1 in TN..Its only in the low 90's but they are saying its because of the heat. Im sure the TX sales see hotter than that many weeks a year.

Facilities not set up for good circulation and shade?

Been a sale every day this week here.
100 degrees plus every day. Supposed to be back in the 90s Sunday maybe.

Did they close the sale due to lack of producers bringing animals in maybe?

No. It says for the safety of the animals and the workers. Never heard of this before.

Precondition calf sale in Greeneville was postponed a week. Claimed it was heat related. I thought it was odd, too.

If they sprayed kerosene around their ankles?






To keep the bugs away from their kandy arses!

I'm glad you said that. I would have been there wondering where everyone was at.

 

[Ebenezer]

Would be a lot of expensive shrink anyway.

It still kind of amuses me. Last time I checked, it's usually pretty hot in August, so it shouldn't come as a surprise.

I've read where school systems have recently cancelled high school football games. My grandkids in elementary school haven't been outside for days because the teachers say the heat is too hot.
The schools weren't even air conditioned when I was a kid. Murray nailed it.

The heat is too hot....

I do remember one school having no a/c. I thought that was really odd at the time. We had some fans tho. Helped a very very little bit.

What are we gonna do when everyone just gives up for one reason or another?
It's too hot.
It's too cold.
We got an inch of snow.
Oh it's too nice of a day to do anything!

Goldilocks never had it so good

I believe I remember our markets around here closing during that real cold snap last winter too.

Lots of people nowadays have never actually seen any kerosene..

They had the sale in Stanford (Bluegrass South) on Monday but numbers and prices were both down considerably. I think that influenced canceling the other sales. It was only 91 with dry air and a nice breeze.
"The home of the brave and the land of the free" has become the home of the frightened and the land of the media influenced.
TV, the internet and all the media turn every event into a disaster anymore.

I see mention of 'red flag day' around here and even out on the Army base. It hasn't seemed to slow down the activity I see and hear from my backyard tho.

They close the sales here for two reasons hell and high water.

Well in Central Texas if feels like the gates of hell have been opened.

Looking forward to the flood gates to be cracked a little/alot.

My uncles use to tell us the O&G version of that... it was diesel rags to keep the ants away.

Months of it. I dive with my windows down if it gets less than 100.

The AB here are 95% covered though, also. They have some big pens that may only be 1/3 covered or so but every pen has shade. They may even have big fans int the raftors.

Some one posted pics of an AB that had the pens out in the wide open. I could see that not working well.

I've watched the black cows out here in the corn stubble struggling in the heat-panting and drooling, look like they're about to drop. Granted, we've been 105+, but standing in the sun doesn't help man nor beast. Even our panhandlers on the corners have given up.
