Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Cattle Auctions

By Jody Sanders


Cattle auctions can be found all around the world. Many people will go to them to buy cattle to breed and some may go to these places to get a pig or cow as a pet. Farmers use these cows and pigs to either breed or slaughter.

There are farmers which slaughter animals that buy from here as well. This is where people might buy from to replace or add to their collection of cattle that they currently use for making up the meat that everyone eats nearly every day.

The prices for them may vary. Auctioneers will start at a base price and go up in price every time someone raises their hand to the price that the auctioneer yells out. When nobody else raises their hand to the price, only then will the sale be complete.

Bids are placed just like you would on an online auction or any other kind of auction where you are bidding on something. They will start out on a base price and an auctioneer will yell it out and each person will bid on it based on how much the auctioneer yells out.

For instance, he or she will yell out a hundred dollars and someone will raise their hand, then they will yell out two hundred dollars and someone else may raise their hand and the price continues to go up as each person places their bids.

Whenever you go to an auction, you should make sure to have plenty of money if you plan on buying any of the cattle. This will ensure you will be able to bid a decent price and possibly be able to get the animal that you want. No matter what you are using the animal for. Read more about: cattle auctions
