[QUOTE="Susie David, post: 657997, member: 1744"] Spent a long day at the sale barn today, usually get home before supper but had to wait for our heifers to sel and pick u the check. The time of sale during the day can really influence the price of the animal: during a big sale that takes all day and into the night the gallery starts thinning out about four o'clock and by five it's only the order buyers left to buy alot of nice animals for alot less than they would have sold for when the house was full. Today was such a day, loads of slaughter cows and bulls and there must have been a special on pairs. The feeders didn't hit the ring until three thirty and mine didn't sell until six thirty and by then the demand was low and I took a hit in the wallet. Of course they wern't our best calves or the wouldn't have been culled but they would have sold for alot more earlier in the day when there was more buyers. And that's my two bits worth...asked for or not. Dave Mc [/QUOTE]
