Re: Online Piedmontese Auction
Lot 1 looks stubby to me in the only picture I viewed. I was expecting more for lot 1

Since I'm in the market for a heifer Lot 7 kinda caught my eye. The pictures are not very good this year.

Congrats on Daisy. I did like her better than lot 4.
Appears only 6 of 20 got sold... I suppose minimum bid was not met for the other 14.

Re: Online Piedmontese Auction
Thanks. You suppose correctly. You could pretty well figure out what the reserve was after the first few animals. This association tried this a few years ago with the same results. Breeders hold back their better animals for private sales and put their lesser ones in this auction, then set a high reserve. Result was just as you have seen and they discontinued it after a couple of years.
