if you leave a reserve, on a pen of stock, in mkt, auctioneer would soon tell, to high/low. Fodder auctions, high reserve, not queried so much, as is used, to set a trade price.So to sum up, at an auction the sellers talked the trade up and buyers talked the trade down, "shock horror" and in a removed post berated someone for having a reserve on their straw and not selling it but in the past have encouraged reserves to be left on pens of livestock.
