lot of times for us feeder guy buyers they will sell weight to fill out your pot-first high bid-take say 10,000 # to finish out your pot load of calves-and then they are re auctioned-reweighed-but have seen a couple buyers ask to also take weight to help there pots on same price. On bred heifers say 50 in the ring and a buyer only wants 10 or 20 head they gate cut-and whatever is left is resold-usually bred heifers and cows are by the head
I have never heard of gate cutting feeders.
If a barn ever did that to my calves I would think long and hard about taking them any more. |
