Cattle Auction

Have any  of you ever  been to a cattle auction?  I had never been to one until last week.  Remember the post I  did of the barn that burned.  This is at the same farm and they had been planning to hold the auction in that old barn.  They ended up having it in the work shop.  Here are a few photos.

Some of the cattle to be auctioned off

You can see some of the pickups and trailers that were there.  These people were ready to buy!

  Close up of the auctioneer and helpers who  were taking bids on line, over the phone, and from the crowd.

 TV's were placed in front of the auctioneer so bidders could see what they were bidding on.

They also had a sale catalog with individual pictures of all the cattle being sold.

A different experience for me.  I hope you enjoyed the auction.
