That is why I refused to go to any dairy congresses they were the worst. The men had all these really interesting thing scheduled and the women were to have tea and learn how to basket weave or something else that is completely useless. I say give me a shot of whisky and lets get down to business.. :lol2:
I will never forget the first animal I ever bid on at an auction. It was a dairy sale that was held every week (only Holsteins) and hubby and I went all the time as we sold and bought, they all new me. Well I saw this beautiful heifer, a Storm daughter that was ready to freshen in a month. I fell in love with her and had to have her, told hubby and he said yes whatever you want she looks good and Storm has great daughters. So he takes off for a smoke break right when my gal comes into the ring. I start bidding around $2000........well tried to ,I was COMPLETELY ignored I literally had to stand up and say "You hoo excuse me, but I am bidding here...can you not see me!!!" I am hard to miss ,I was not hard on the eyes and 5'11".. Really hard to miss. Anyways I had a set price and went way over it , I thought
[email protected] it, like I would let any of those aholes out bid me, that heifer is mine no matter what she sells for. Hubby didn't say to much when we went to pay the bill, the way I figured it he shouldn't have been smoking anyways, he should have been paying attention..Also the last time I have ever been ignored at any sale.. :nod:
I think times are changing though and women are really taken seriously especially in this industry. :clap:
