This last weekend we had 685 lots in consignment sale and 124 head in livestock sale. Had a few chickens, rabbits, ducks, guinea, turkeys, parakeets and budgies and alfalfa, prairie grass and johnson grass hay and straw small squares. Had several lots of antique pottery, china, quilting/embroidery hoops, vintage wood trim pieces and more. Had some canned dog and cat food, trimmers and training collers. Had sevral lots of misc items. Had mixture of goats, hair and wool sheep. Quality varied- young stuff sold well. There were more pygmies than were listed. Got listed as the larger breeds. New kids or kids working where they usually don’t and Cheryl said when she clerked some were not identified as the smaller breeds so market report a little deceiving on the small breeds. With all the consignment stuff we were hammered. Prices came back up in anticipation of the Thanksgiving holidays and the young stuff sold well if good solid fat animals. Even with all the football games we had a good crowd. Checked in quite a few new people again this sale, sellers and buyers. Thank you who ever is spreading the word about our sale. We only had one veteran or military person at the sale. Usually we have several but thank him for his service.
