[QUOTE="AAOK, post: 122169, member: 861"] I receive about two snail mails a week, and maybe one email every two weeks advertising someone's Show Calf Sale. I regularly attend two sales a year, not as a potential buyer, but just to observe the folks who apparently have more Dollars than Sense. I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would pay at least double, sometimes as much as two or three times the price for a Show Heifer or Show Steer, when they could buy much cheaper, and higher quality from a breeder, right off the farm. :roll: Now, I'm certainly not begrudging the sellers from making too much money; I'm for them getting all they can. I also don't have anything against the cattle jockies. I know that I too could make much more money if I would consign my calves to the sales, but I don't have the time, plus I really don't have the desire (maybe my conscience won't allow me). ;-) I just want to hear from people who go buy show calves at these sales. Why pay for all the Foo Foo, Hype, and Marketing when you don't have to? :?: I'm always curious about this after I have been to a sale, and see the hands waving that obviously don't have any business bidding. I would particularly love to hear from someone who has ever purchased a Sale Topper. :shock: [/QUOTE]
