[QUOTE="FungusProudKY31, post: 1675680, member: 40881"] Buyer beware on prices you see in major sales and some other sales. There will generally be no "no bid" or unsold bulls. Wonder why? There is a designated bidder or a plan with someone in sales to set a base price and "sell" every bull. To me, it is a ponzi scheme. Bulls of no value to buyers is assigned a buyer to save embarrassment of no sales and also to increase the average sale price. The average sale price of this year will need to be exceeded next year to show progress and success. I learned that this is going on locally from a group I have know of as questionable for a while. It's apparently done a lot. And there are standard plans to dump the bulls in other markets to try to recoup some investment. So the discussions of prices - real or not? We seldom buy a bull and use 99% home raised bulls. It works so much better. And if I want the ego I can always sell myself a bull for $30,000 and brag about it! :sneaky: [/QUOTE]
