[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1428500, member: 20580"] Your price range is spot on and realistic I think. The last mature herd bull we sold few years back we were asking $4000 for which at the time was probably $1000 more than he would have brought by the pound at the sale barn at the time. We originally bought him as a yearling on the Rausch sale too so also had some proven genetic value behind him we felt. We had a couple guys offer around $3000 or a little less which are the ones we flat out told we'd probably get that for him sending him to the sale barn than sell him to you off the farm at that bargain. That 5500-6500 for a 3-6 is too pricey I agree, would rather spend that kind of money on a good 2 year old that you'd get more years out of. I guess the saying goes that something is only worth what 1 man will pay for it and if some guy will actually pay that much for an older bull then good for them I guess. It's the guys out there with insulting offers who actually think they will be able to get something for far less than it is really worth that are annoying but it's always going to be part of the business. Everyone has a different kind of budget and price range for what they can afford. [/QUOTE]
