[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1393224, member: 16453"] Very disheartening Gizmon. I don't know what it is but some sales just seem to be treated like poison yet they will flock to lessor sales and the success of those sales just seem to feed on themselves and they become the fad. I am selling my bulls along with another local breeder who has similar objectives to me. Our first sale last year was a moderate success but we got our bulls into some good farms and am hoping that word of mouth from those buyers who got some very good bargains so we are hoping they talk and it may start a feeding frenzy. We get told that buyers don't want bulls that are heavily fed and that they can tell a good bull in any condition, well these very same buyers always buy the heaviest bulls in the draft. There is another larger breeder not too far away that is very well off and only new to the bull business and pays a promotion company to do his advertising and spends a lot of money. His bulls are grossly overweight many 2 yr olds well over 1000kg yet the buyers come from all over the country and a lot from the north where these bulls would just melt and yet his average on 50 bulls was $14,000. It is very hard to work out. Ken [/QUOTE]
