How Bidding Process at a Mart Works?

Now the next thing you need to learn about, is how drive up the price of your animals, the day you are selling:D
Getting a mate to bid on them, up to a preset limit, just to encourage the jobbers, to keep wagging their fingers:D:D

'Careful now' 'Down with that sort of thing!'

You'd have no luck out of that kind of goin' on.

Well - Got on well enough on Saturday - took on board as much of your advice as I could. Bought a BBX heifer in the end. Happy enough!

Started out the day inspecting animals in the yard and picking out what I was interested in. Went into the ring then, stood up high and watched what was happening. Eventually one of my chosen animals came in. Put a few bids on but let her go as things happened so fast, I was afraid of bidding too much. Done this a few times and got my confidence up. Was bidding on a few on the market up as far as my limit when I would stop. After about the 10th attempt, I landed my BBX heifer for €980. Went to the office picked up the pass out docket, got her loaded up and down home very satisfied. It was a huge experience for me and I cant wait to get back at it again. I was amazed at how fast it all happens and how many people watched the bidding - so much for being discreet! Thanks for all your help guys!

I'll be going to Ennis next weeks with a few bullocks. If you want to get a bit more practice I would be more than happy to let you bid away
