[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 975400, member: 2653"] Had a guy come by to visit this afternoon; this guy bought replacement heifers from my dad almost yearly. When he called to ask if he could drop by, I ofcourse agreed... Only the neighborly thing to do. As we were riding through my pastures, we came up to where my cows were..... He saw a cow with a 2 week old calf at her side. Not a great cow, just an average commercial brangus, 2009 model - and not the best of my cows by a long shot. He asked if I would consider selling her. I wasn't ready for that question. He immediately offered a high price before I could respond, and then went up $200 more before I could answer his first offer. He did the same thing with a springing heifer (again commercial brangus) I had. He left owning two out of my herd.... My jaw is still hanging..... So the question is what would it take for you to sell a cow/calf out of your pasture? Prices are high, that's for sure, but if someone "had to have" a cow out of your pasture, what would you have to get for her? Registered/seedstock is totally different; in this case, just everyday normal commercial brangus... It seems like we've quicky gone from lucky to get $400 per calf, to "nameing our price". strange days indeed... Opinions?? [/QUOTE]
