[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 315328, member: 9"] I think there is very little statistical relationship between prices of sale barn cattle and registered cattle. IMO most registered cattle are sold via private treaty, rancher's current price at the ranch, or price at the registered cattle auctions. As a rule, sale barn cattle are sold as beef...some are sold as replacement stock, but buyer beware. For example, a weaned heifer that we might get $250 or so at sale barn (on "per pound basis" at sale barn) would bring between $1500 and $3000 as registered stock to another breeder. Anything we consider is quality breeding stock won't even get near a sale barn...lol. Even allowing for the usual "docking" a Longhorn gets at a sale barn, we can get 10X as much for same animal at our ranch location. This said and done, the sale barn or "market" price for an animal does not reflect the price pay "at the ranch" for a registered animal. At sale barn: Buyer Beware, what you see is what you get". At private treaty: Get to see sire, dam, other offspring, pedigrees, registration, health records, the facility & infrastructure condition, appearance, etc. ;-) [/QUOTE]
