Yesterday we had a 2500 head presorted yearling sale. Prices were really good finally. Anyways, here are some pictures of my day.
First off a view of the Mural from the street
And a view of the East side from the cat walk
These pens are usually full overnight, but due to the mud situations the cattle were moved to somewhat cleaner pens (as much as possible)
Bringing a bunch up to the sale barn, these ones are a graded bunch, and will be sorted before going through the ring. There are about 4 different cuts here.
Same bunch, waiting at the barn, they will go through the gate on the side and be sorted over there. The cuts are Herefords, Black and Black Baldies, Red and Red baldies and I think one single grey one.
A close up of the same bunch
Some black and black baldies that were just sold and are coming out of the barn to be penned again.
Reds that have been sold and are leaving the barn
The Mural
Cattle leaving the barn, a Weigh Back and some workers. The horse and rider follow the cattle down the alley to their 'new' pen after they are sold, with the paper saying what pen they are to go to and who bought the animals.
The tail end of the black group leaving the barn. You can see the riders on the north side, they are bringing some large one owner groups around from that side to be run through the ring. The cattle in the middle pens have already been sold.
Some sold cattle
A group of red steers waiting their turn. My horse and the partners horse.
Going in for another pen, it sure is mucky. 2 cuts in this pen.
Some white and black steers
A one owner group in the barn, they will go through shortly. Notice the red ones coming in from behind.
Some red Limos that have been sorted, and are going into the barn.
A bunch being sorted, herefords from the blacks
Fixing a mix up, these ones were NOT quiet and easy to sort.
Bringin a bunch out of their pen, I sure am glad I had a horse....
Taking a bigger bunch up the easier way, that catwalk is our nemisis, the cattle hate going under it, especially if there are people on it....
The last bunch waiting their turn.
Some pretty nice Char heifers, in the 750 lb range
The sale ring, I don't get in here very often, usually too busy working.
Most bunches are sorted on color. But these were pretty little, so they just sorted them all together.
