[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10779"] Appreciate your comments! As with my previous posts to this message board, some people take me at face value, some read things into my comments, some think I'm full of crap, others are somewhere on a scale between 1 and 100. Anyhow...the livestock business is supply and demand, period...as in any bonafide business. True, some people overprice their animals perhaps in hopes of not selling them or realizing a good profit; or, to hedge against having to lower their negotiated price. On the other end of the spectrum of all of my posts the past several months, I have come to realize that MOST of the cattle people out there are NOT raising registered stock as well as not raising specialty livestock. That is where perhaps I have found myself "out of the flow" with people. As a specialty breeder I would never purchase any animal at the usual sale barn and would only purchase at a sale that was promoting high end auction animals. All of our stock have been purchased at private treaty; and, only one pair was taken to the sale barn--fence crashers (no the grass was not better on the other side). Likewise, we sell our stock via private treaty, as individual animals. So...LOL...suppose I have shot myself in the foot again with a few fragments hitting me in the groin...(smile). Everyone has their own livestock program and if it is working for them...fantastic! No one can be all things to all people. [email=info@runningarrowfarm.com]info@runningarrowfarm.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
