My son and I were at the salebarn at Talbotville about the same time. Like most auction barns there is special seating for order buyers on the front row. Cull cows weren't bringing much then a skinny cow comes in and there is no bid no matter how hard the auctioneer tried. On this day Bob Lethbridge the owner was in the box so he asks his clerk what trucking is owed by the farmer on shipping the cow to the sale. Bob assigned the cow to one of the order buyers for the trucking owed. About 10 minutes later the same thing happens and Bob assigned the cow to the next buyer in the row. This happened 3 times that I saw before we left to see the sheep sell. My grandfather told me a story of a buyer coming to the farm to buy cows for Canada Packers in Toronto during the depression. They settled on a price for a cull holstein then moved on to another cow. The buyer said she wasn't worth anymore than her transport but since the truck was coming anyway she could ride along for free. The buyer would not move so the cow was given away.
