[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1843197, member: 40587"] I know. And people saying you can't buy better replacements than you can raise from your commercial cows, for the same or less money. Same is true for those $4k and less bulls Saturday, too. But, I have noticed the current beef prices doesn't really have that much to do with the price of registered stock. Back about 2020, when bred cows were $1100 at the most, heifers at maybe $800-$900, and black CAB potential steers were $1.50/lb, these bulls and heifers would have brought about the same price at that year's production sale.. Yeah, he more than paid for the trip. On the phone he said: "[I]Well, it's 250+miles one way, so that's over 500 miles, so figure 50 gallons of diesel at $4. That's $200 right there. And MapQuest says it is 3.5 hours each way. so figure 7 hours on the road plus 1 hour there loading and one hour at my place, That's 9 hours @ $50 an hour, so there's another $450. Would $750 work for you?[/I]" I said, yeah but $800 would work even better! He wanted to Venmo me half then, and pay the other half in cash when the bulls arrived. I told him to just Venmo me $100 to seal the deal, , and pay Clay the balance in cash when he got there with the cows. It was about 190mi round trip for me to deliver those bulls down to Lagrange so I used that $100 for my fuel and didn't charge him for delivery.
