This morning at 7:30 (yes that is a.m.) I was at the Junior Livestock Auction at the California Mid State Fair. I volunteered to help with filling out the sale orders, giving them to a runner, receiving them back, checking them for completeness, and placing the completed order in a stack to be picked up for final review by the supervisor. My shift was two hours. . . .it was over in what seemed to be 15 minutes. There were two auctioneers going at the same time. It was hard to hear and by the end of my shift there had been over 100 pigs sold.
This afternoon Ken and I went back to the Mid State Fair and walked around for a while until it got too hot. We did go in to the Livestock auction to check it out and I was glad that I wasn't up at the front table working.
I could never be an auctioneer .......I can't talk that fast.
