[QUOTE="True Grit Farms, post: 1534155, member: 24694"] [b]You can buy a quality bull at the big boy auctions reasonable a lot of times. Most of the bigger operations have bulls that didn't make the sale for one reason or another, and most keep some bulls back and sell private treaty throughout the year. Maybe they have to eat some that their buddy bid on, but the breeder doesn't make any money if they don't sell either. You need to read the Yon Family Farms guarantee, they have a sale coming up in a couple of weeks, I'll be there looking for a deal. [/b] I have done way better buying at auctions than off the farm.
