    Why do they talk so weird?

    • @SixteenChickens
      @SixteenChickens  7 лет назад +6

      Hello! Well maybe it's because we're in Georgia. :) But auctioneers usually go to training to be able to call like that.

    • @animalobsessed1
      @animalobsessed1 7 лет назад +7

      Do you know what's the purpose though? I can't even understand what the auctioneer is saying.

    • @SixteenChickens

      I'm not sure but I do know it is tradition. :)

    • @AndersonCattleCo
      @AndersonCattleCo 7 лет назад +13

      The auctioneer calls the bids in a cadence to keep you interested and paying attention. It is traditional but it does help keep the buyers focus. The better the auctioneer is there better the prices.

      Where in Georgia are you, and where is this sale? I’ve been going to livestock auctions most of my life, and we have a nice cattle auction here in Carrollton every Tuesday morning.

    That’s a really great tip you gave, to go on the second/fourth weeks when you want to buy, since the crowds will be smaller. And I bet that if you’re going to sell at auction, sell on the first/third week since the crowds would be larger! I hadn’t ever thought of that! Thank you!

    • @SixteenChickens
      @SixteenChickens  6 лет назад +1

      We're glad this helps! We have been known to get caught up and pay too much for animals once or twice. Sometimes if the prices are too high, you just need to come back the next week. Thanks for watching!

    Thank for the post. I've been to dozens of livestock auction barns but I've never been to a night auction. All the livestock auctions in my state, that I know of, are in the day. Monday thru Saturday there is always an auction SOMEWHERE. I've only been to one where they sold chickens but the video showing the chickens in round laundry baskets is a great. That would be a great, CHEAP way to move chickens.
    I don't want to be offensive to Georgia but the auction you showed seemed a little low rent. I've been to two in my state that were falling apart but the rest were in top shape. It might be that I'm from the north and you need good buildings or you will freeze to death in the winter. :-)

    • @SixteenChickens
      @SixteenChickens  7 лет назад +1

      +aCycloneSteve Yes, that particular auction is pretty low rent. It's held in an old chicken house, I think, and it's been there forever. But it's about the best in this area of the state for the volume and variety of animals. But to be honest, you still freeze in this place in the winter and burn up in the summer!

    If the livestock cage is down towards the front, don't sit that close. First thing that alot of them do when they come out is cut loose and spray a stream, especially if they are nervous. Sometimes they can jump or things just happen, so better not to be right up near the chute/cage.

      Raising and selling feeder pigs seems to pretty much have gone away in GA. Forty years ago I had 6 sows and would take 20 or 30 feeder pigs to a sale in Cochran, is there anywhere in Ga that sales lots of pigs or is that type auction no longer around here.

  • @VFio689

    I would imagine selling a high amount of any animal would be very hard to do if you had to find every client. so if you raise 50 calves a to around 14 months of age, do you think you would actually sell them all at auction, and if you did would you be making good money on them or do you get low balled?

    • @SixteenChickens
      @SixteenChickens  6 лет назад +2

      Those kind of numbers would probably need to go through a cattle auction that does a high volume, or even a broker. Most people I know who sell that many cows sell directly to a feed lot in Texas or Oklahoma. A cattle truck comes to the farm and picks up all the cows at once.
