How does the presort cattle sales work? After the cattle are unloaded at our yards, your cattle are weighed and presorted as soon as possible — no over night stand. Presort cattle will be weighed with a 3%, 2%, 1% pencil shrink depending on the mileage. After the animals are weighed they are sent into the ring where it is determined from their weight, quality, conformation, frame, hair coat and color as to what package they will be put into. They then go straight to a feed and water pen, where in that pen is all the same class of cattle. You will get a printout after your animals are presorted, which has the weights and packages your cattle are in. On sale day, that uniform pen of cattle is sold together as a package. Do we guarantee prices? We totally understand why you would want to know exactly what you’d be getting for those calves, before they leave your yard. In a sense we do guarantee. We guarantee that we will get you the highest market price for your cattle.
