    I don't think you have anything to fear been early. After 40 mins of a sale you 'll have a good idea of trade on the day. Lot better than been late and crowd dwindling around the ring.

    I sold a few back and I was in the first ten of bull weanlings and got on fantastic. The crowd was already around the ring as bullocks before the bull weanlings. You should be grand where u are

    If the starting number is pulled from a hat there's not a lot you can do about you number or when it's through the ring!
