Why where you not there sale day???? If it was worth $3000 then you should have been there to see what things where doing.
I learned that the hard way forty years ago. I sent a steer to the local sale barn. Nothing wrong with him. He just was the last one out of a pen. I just had the one ready and could use the money. A good friend was taking a few steers as well so he just hauled mine with his.
In a few days I got a check from the sale barn. $350. That is right $350 for a 1300 pound steer. The steer should have brought $800-900. I went to the sale barn and asked them what had happened. They told me that my steer had an prolapse and they could not sale it for meat. I raised HE!!. That steer had zero health problems. They stuck to their story. I asked some of the guys that where there that day none of them saw it go through the sale ring. I think the owner knew I would not be there and sold it out the back door so to speak. He made a big profit. I saw him years later buy a pen of feeder calves no one was there on. The order buyers would not bid against him. He then split the calves up and ran them back through the sale later and made a killing on them. He was a crook!!! He died at fifty-five from a heart attack.
So since then I never sell anything of value without being there. I have bought a few head of cattle back at the auction.
It is your property it is up to you to protect it!!! Any auctioneer that says you can't bid on it is telling you a lie. HE can charge you full commission but he can't stop you from bidding.
