[QUOTE="lawman, post: 313886, member: 5425"] I agree that most of the people who spend huge money at these sales don't get hurt. The real problem I see is that these high dollar deals create a false market that results in people without the deep pockets or the expertise to know how things really work actually paying much more than what the market really would justify for the animal. Although you can't protect dummies from themselves, I do think people getting hurt in that fashion hurts the business long term. In addition, I think these kinds of ridiculous top end numbers scare some people away from the purebred business. The facts are that 99% of the purebred business never even smells the air near the numbers promoted in those types of deals; but how do get that truth out. I guess I would change my tune if one of these money guys landed at my place in a helicopter and offered me $50,000 to $100,000 for one of my cows with no strings attached; but somehow I suspect that "Alabama" and I live in the same world. Merry Christmas to all [/QUOTE]
