no better feeder cattle

Pretty hard to chase the color of the year in your breeding program-a 50/50 british/exotic that finishes around 1300 has worked for years and is pretty attainable without running elephant sized cows.Auction mart guys will tell you whatever you want to hear to get your cattle to their ring it's just good business on their part. I usually sort at home if I'm taking cattle to town-the local salebarn guys stop buy and check them out. Usually they go through in one draft maybe two. When I worked at the yards some guys just ask for their cattle to be shrunk out-the more sorting you can do at home taking your time the better it is.

I backgrounded and grassed 200 strs and when it came time to sell I had bids in the yard as it happened I sold to NBI in clyde on the back scale.
Anyway they told me that if they own the cattle they sell in 2 lots and just mix the dogs in but if they are my cattle they go through in mabey 8 bunches with the dogs selling seperate so you dont get to pick and choose . And yes they admited they couldnt gurante the same price if they sold as mine.

The joys of the auction mart system! Those old buyers are pretty adept at picking out anything that might not fit the package? That takes a lot of time?
Time is money and personally I don't know how some of these cattle buyers can sit there for twelve hours or more? It must be an incredibly boring job? Ever notice how these young cattle buyers come in lean and trim, but get mighty fat after a few years! There are a few exceptions!
Gary Kelsey was a buyer in my area for practically all my life and his father Art before him. I see his son Ray is back buying cattle and Gary is now selling real estate? Gary was sure a good guy in my opinion.
