    The total for the heifer sale is way off, if I am reading this right

    .  Call for a factual figure.

    Love the data. Would love to see data from several sales combined as individual sales data can be skewed by one or two consignors with multiple consignments or the absence of certain buyers at a sale. Industry wide data across sales would show me more reliable data to judge.
