some want to learn to stop and tell the auctioneer to buy it at their bidThey regularly seem to be the under bidder on stuff
If they are bringing their own fert, yes very fair.I'm charging same as last year , think that's fair
I have done that a few times then we have to start all over againsome want to learn to stop and tell the auctioneer to buy it at their bid
Depends on situation. I’ve been too a few sales up and down where if it weren’t for the auctioneer doing a bit of trotting the sellers would have been in for a real shafting. Plus I expect the auctioneer when I’m selling too run the buyers for every penny too!I have done that a few times then we have to start all over again
Was at an auction and auctioneer had son, on school holidays, helping him clerk.When I was about 17 I went to a grass auction to be noisy, it was for a block of about 400 acres, as I stood there with the auctioneer and one other bloke I relised that this was going to get a bit awkward, the auctioneer kept looking at me to bid more than £1 for it but I only had 30 ewes at the time and had no intention of bidding, even a good auctioneer would struggle to take extra bids at that point.
That’s got to be painful for the vendor. I’m guessing it wasn’t sold through the same auctioneers the next year?went to a farm sale, local, 128acres of grass keep, included at the last minute, thought it would be useful, bought the first lot at £4 acre, auctioneer, said, takes the lot. Not exactly what l expected, but split with a neighbour later.
one off, and the auctioneers patience had been tried to breaking point, and it was,, get rid of it, for any price, and l was the only bidder on the first lot .................. and only bidder for the lot.That’s got to be painful for the vendor.

Wheat straw out of Goostrey today. 13t @ £80 14.25t @ £84. Beautiful clean straw. Take no harm at that. Might as well fill a few bays with straw as cattle are too dear for me.
Big bale wheat £80-84
Square barley unsold @ £88
Round barley (beautiful soft calf straw) £90 I think. Was the under bidder at it.
3rd quality big bale hay £84
1st quality seeds hay in 7ft squares £110
1st quality meadow hay in rounds £100.

Didn’t really want it. But it just looked very cheap when it was in the 80’s. Got bugger all cattle inside now so I’m just stock piling for next winter really. After the next draw there will only be 25 bulls insidethat softbarley straw how much do you want?
