[QUOTE="Farminlund, post: 259618, member: 1132"] I recently participated in a special feeder calf sale that was actually a tele-auction early in the week with cattle delivery later that same week. The quantity of calves was nearly 1500 head & they ranged in size from 5 weights to some 9 weights, all delelivered, sorted, & penned in ~4 hrs. I go to this sale barn frequently (sales each Monday where they move ~1500 head of calves, cows, & bulls); so my Fri visit should have been no different - right? I took me like 10 mins when it hit me - the only noise was that of the scale operator calling out the pens the calves were headed to! There was total silence in a sale barn with nearly 1500 calves with the exception of some people talking & the afore mentioned loud speaker. Was almost eerie! Just thought I'd share - I assume this must have happened to many out there, but was my first encounter. Normally you can hear the place over 1/2 mile down the road! [/QUOTE]
