That is interesting. Some days that would be cold in our area. Now the fella in the last picture, is he the seller or being sold, or just a bypasser?

Thanks for the pics Mulga,that's an interesting way to hold an auction.Actually seems like a lot les stress then running them through the sale ring.Nice cat walks too,ours are wooden and rickety.Thanks for sharing.

Quite a set of pens.

Are feeder and slaughter cattle sold by the pound/KG or by the dollars/hd?

 

[Mulga]

Breeder are generally sold dollars per head
Fats are sold cents per kg and feeders can be either but mostly dollars per head
Originally most yards were set up for ring selling ( i will try to send a photo) but now most are pen selling, must be more efficient i guess and the weather is certainly on the mild side
