This sale was much different than the first two. The bulls were grouped in pens, rather than being sold individually they were sold in groups (some pens had two groups in one). This sale more loud than smelly. There were over a thousand steers in the shed. This was a very fast pace sale. The auctioneers had a headset on and one guy would hold a speaker so you could actually hear him talking. The buyers and spectators would walk around to the next pen rather than a show ring like the other two.
This was another day trip but was shorter for us because we didn’t stay the entire time, or else we would have been there past dark and we had a long drive back. I just went around and took video of the steers and some of the auction. Then we interviewed one of the sponsors to get his opinion of the sale.
I had my boots this time ($20 from Target… yes they have Target in Australia). So my feet were nice and protected from the mud and poo.
