Cattle sellers at auction barns typically lose 8-12% of their cattle's value before the sale concludes due to three main cost factors: commission (2-4% of sale price), yardage fees ($2-8 per head for facility use), and shrink (up to 4% weight loss during transport, sorting, and waiting). For example, a 10-head sale can lose $3,500 before the gavel drops when these costs are combined.
