Some bids came in the form of head nods, while others came in the form of a small wave of the hand. Auction workers wearing blat hats kept a close eye on the crowd to recognize bids while auctioneer Mike Jones kept the action moving at a swift pace. Sarratt Farms plans to make its purebred auctions an annual event. Saturday's auction brought in roughly $76,000. 003p1_xlg.jpg
