What The Hell Are Livestock Auctioneers Actually Saying?

“We are the music to the sale.”
That’s how full-time auctioneer - and the 2014 World Livestock Auctioneer champion - Baine Lotz explains his job. This year, the annual event, hosted by the Livestock Marketing Association since 1963, drew 31 semi-finalists who competed by selling cattle at the Bloomington Livestock Exchange in Wisconsin. The competition attracts cattle buyers and sellers as well as fans who come strictly to take in the spectacle. But the cowboy hat-festooned contestants take their fast-talking pretty seriously.

Auctions like these are super stressing, cause you could scratch ur nose and then You own 100 cows

[@truthsmiles]

Nothing to worry about. If you're a complete noob (as I have been), they know it, and probably won't even pay attention to you unless you make a real effort to get noticed. In my case (I probably only buy 1-2 cows a year), if I want to bid, I shoot my hand up and hold my card up high until the auctioneer acknowledges the bid. I even sometimes have to wave to get his attention. Then, once he knows I'm 'in the running', a simple wave or nod will continue the bidding. I shake my head if I'm done. What you're probably thinking of is the professional buyers, who buy cattle for multiple large operators and bid on probably 80% of the cattle at a given auction (sometimes more). These guys have a special relationship with the auctioneer, who sees them every week. When such a buyer is present, the auctioneer will often 'check in' with them to see if there's interest, often registered, as you say, with a little hand flick or some hardly noticeable gesture... it's the kind of natural thing that happens when you know someone really well and can 'read their mind' just by the expression on their face. So, if you're ever contemplating going to an auction, don't worry - scratching your nose won't commit you to buying 100 head of cattle :-) And worst case, if you DO accidentally buy a cow, you can always just say "I changed my mind, run her through again", which means you want to sell her immediately and they'll just re-auction her. Sure, you might lose $100 in the transaction, but you won't have to figure out how to fit a cow in the trunk of your Honda Civic :-)

2:23 - Took me a while to realize he wasn't speaking about fake beef between the auctioneers but ACTUAL fake beef. KZbin has ruined me.

[@cmiller9800]

the sound director for this video did an amazing job!

[@miskolinaccc]

This is one of the best videos you have put on the KZbin lately, surely, it's not really as thought-provoking as some other pieces, but it's still extremely enjoyable, especially the music background, well done!

[@TotalRookie_LV]

Absolutely agree. There is something enCHANTING about the sound composition of this piece.

[@ThatLoudCockatoo]

I know right? Everyone was out covering politics and social issues and one guy was just like I WANT TO TALK ABOUT LIVESTOCK AUCTIONEERS.

[@actuasco]

no, i want stories on trans babies

[@colonelcorazonsantiago7335]

The documenting of unique traditions, customs, lifestyles of people is important from a historical perspective. 100 years from now, people will look on this video with even more curiosity than we do today.

[@emill232]

The piece they where playing in the beginning was Dvorak's 9th symphony. The famous "new world symphony." The first movement I believe, but the last movement is the more well known.

[@Antipodean33]

Gotta admit when I was a young fella and started going to auctions I got caught up in the whole atmosphere and till I learnt, I paid dearly for that enthusiasm. I remember heaps of people bidding and it was all going so fast, to be honest I didn't even know where the bid was, then all of a sudden it came to a screeching halt and the auctioneer looked me dead in the eye and said "you bought it son"

[@nicolaslanzoni9385]

Well , auctions must have changed a lot since then , because the atmosphere of the auctions shown in the video are just depressing. Every bidder shown in the video appears to be a empty husk of a person, completely devoid of any joy , they barely move their arms to signal for a bid, is like they are trying to do the least amount of movement necessary to be noticeable by the auctioneer, as if they are ashamed of doing so . The regret in the air is palpable, and I don't understand why... They stay like this all the time, even before placing a bid , what are they regretting??? You should consider yourself lucky , if you got caught up in the atmosphere shown in the video, buying an overpriced bovine would be the least of your problems lol

Most auctioneers aren't like this, these guys are the elite of the elite in Auctioneers.
