[QUOTE="blacksnake, post: 521097, member: 566"] I attended a sale at one of the large angus breeders last year. I was interested in a couple of animals. One of the cows I was interested in looked good and had a good pedigree. I was going to bid a max of $5,000. A couple of other people kept bidding and the animal finally sold for $7,000. The same breeder is having a sale again this year and as usual I looked through the catalog. The same cow is for sale again this year. My guess is that the breeder had someone to bid on the animal to run up the price to what he had set as a minimum. Does this happen quite often? Seems like a good way for a breeder to guard against an animal selling for less than he was willing to take. Not condoning or condemning, just curious. [/QUOTE]
