[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 17758"] Yes, these are for registered Longhorns. These prices have occurred at specialty Longhorn Auction Sales, including the "Longhorn Showcase" sales and others. To see some sale sources, goto <A HREF="http://www.tlbaa.org" TARGET="_blank">www.tlbaa.org</A> or <A HREF="http://www.itla.org" TARGET="_blank">www.itla.org</A> for association websites. Otherwise, the "lower prices" $800 to $5,000 are frequently advertised via Private Treaty by the respective Longhorn breeders. You can search your browser for "Texas Longhorns, Texas" to find number of good websites. If a Longhorn is offered for under $800 as a calf (or other age) it may or may not be registered and is probably due to a serious breeder overstock sale. Any Longhorns at a local "Sale Barn" are probably not registered and have a variety of bloodlines (blends) of non-famous sires and dams; and/or are dams that aren't producing well, or others that might have an attitude problem. Anyone one selling Longhorns at a Sale Barn will usually always take a serious price hit there. On another note, the very high priced longhorns often are part of an Invitational Longhorn Sale or other high profile auctions where breeders are seeking specific bloodlines (esp. horn length) to add to their foundation stock. Even a 10 year old Longhorn cow can still have 6 to 10 more calves before she "retires." Sometimes breeders sell top quality Longhorns bulls because they have worked through the bulls in their herd, have already collected semen to store, and move the bulls out to make room for even bigger and better bulls. Bottomline: ANY registered bovine will be sold per "Each"; non-registered (non-foundation stock) will be sold per "Pound." The small cost of registration for a quality animal will create several times the price of a non-registered animal. Final note: ANY bovine that is offered for sale (regardless of the breed) that the owner or breeder DOES NOT know who the sire or dam was OR when the calving date was; well...consider this animal as just a male or female bovine who may or may not have a service life left and who may be only worth their dressed weight in "Beef."
