How we sell
Cattle and sheep are weighed on the morning of the sale, in front of whoever wants to watch. It slows the day down by an hour and a half and we do it anyway.
Two clear days after the hammer, whether the buyer has settled with us or not. We carry that risk on our own account rather than pass a slow payer back down the chain.
Machinery we cannot describe honestly does not go in the catalogue, and stock that would be better sold in the spring gets told so. That is commission we have chosen not to earn.
A cracked block, a lame heifer, an hours clock that has been round twice. Saying it costs the vendor money in the ring and saves us both a fortnight of argument afterwards.
“They knocked two of my bulls out of the catalogue and told me to bring them back in six weeks. I was annoyed at the time. They made three hundred a head more than the ones I did sell that day.”
