[QUOTE="fit2btied, post: 49217, member: 6"] I didn't mention this in my earlier post, but my kids have been out of 4-H since 1993. I have bought 1-3 market hogs each year since then. I buy animals of the kids who have asked me to bid on their animals. If I don't receive a 'thank you' card or note, I don't bid on their animals the next year. If none of the kids ask us to bid on their animals, we don't. We go to the local sale barn the next week and pick them up for market price instead of paying premium price at the fair, often more than double the market. That's just the way we do it. A few of the buyers around here prefer that the kids leave them alone, they'll show up, buy something, and go home, but most of them prefer the personal contact from the kids. Regardless of any of our preferences as buyers, I think the most important issue is that the kids don't lose focus of the fact that the buyers do not have to do this and shouldn't be taken for granted.
