Where was the auction? I can never figure out where to FIND one!
I'm in west central Ohio.
go to the feed store, and ASK !
theres generally at least 1 auction yard in any fairly ag area .....
prices ...
in my many many many auctions, both buying and selling ::
this is just illustrative
based on auctions in wisconsin , minnesota north dakota and missouri that i have been to over the last 3 years ( older amounts would be pretty inaccurate)
average to high prices
in each animal it depends on type and breed age and condiion , OH and of course, how much do you want it , and are you willing to pay
these are general auction prices, go to a speciality auction , like say a bird auction , then prices will be WAY different, same as a horse auction... seen horses sell for 50.00 to $25,000.00+ ( the highest i saw was at a horse auction , APHA foundation sale in tx, 175,000.00 for a weanling filly)
Chicks .25 -75 cents
chickens 1.00-3.00 each
guineas 3.00-7.00
Llama 25.00-50 ( un reg) Reg 100.00-300.00
Goats , 10-20.00 each reg 20.00-150.00
horses 100-700 grade reg 500-1400.00
in my exp. Grade stallions are the CHEAPEST !!!, which is funny, cause they are just seconds away from being a perfectly good gelding
Cow ((Generally market price)) , 1-180. per lb but if its a specialty breed, dutch belted or scottish highlands, it will be higher ... sometimes
ducks 2.00-5.00
Geese 5-15.00
Turkey 4-25.00
pig 5-30.00 ( weanlings )
Sows/Boars 20-150.00
all these auctions are different, you can get great things for cheap , or terribly sick animals , i had a freind last year she bought a nice looking mare, 8 years old , only to find out she was full of cancer ....
