[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1556137, member: 24816"] Lazy M, I wasn't at that sale, but have been to quite a few there, and have observed similar scenarios. I have always thought that you could get some pretty good bulls there for a fair price. I agree with you about Boyd, He is in on a level all his own, as far as registered cattle breeders in KY. There are several other folks that have built up some good names in the business, and have some good sales but no other that I can think of are as Nationally known as Boyd or have as many bulls in AI studs. Name means so much in the registered business, you can take two very similar animals bred the same way, and the one with the best known prefix in front of its name will always outsell the other by a wide margin. The most recent bull I have bought was an AI sired bull by Boyd Ft. Knox, I did not buy him from Boyds nor did I pay what he would have brought at one of Boyd's sales. Nothing against Boyd at all, in fact I have always wanted to go to one of his sales at the farm. Did go to one years ago one evening at the Maysville stockyards. [/QUOTE]
