[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1696811, member: 5381"] ""This thread has allot to do with what’s wrong with the cattle business today. Allot of talk about producing a far inferior product and cheating new guys out of their cattle instead of helping them out."" I don't know how many people I have talked to that are intimidated with the whole sale barn process. They don't go because they are afraid of getting ripped off. The whole process moves to fast for them. Instead they use Craigslist.

They said they didn't trust the sale barns and would rather buy from this guy even though he was more expensive. I had mentioned before that there was a couple of sale barns I will not do business with. One of them is where these folks felt they got screwed. The barn I use also moves very fast at times but the auctioneer will recognize newbies and slow down to make sure they know the price they are paying and what they are getting.
