[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 602321, member: 968"] When you sell a registered bull, you have to take into account all your expenses in raising the bull, herd health, vet exp, AND you (as a breeder) have to guarantee the bull. I belive in setting a minimum bid. If that minimum is more than what you are willing to pay, than by all means, don't waste your gas & time to go. I'm not saying that all sales should have a minimum bid. Just saying that if the sale wants to set one, it's ok with me. We set a minimum bid for the bulls on the NY bull test at $1000. The producers probably have $1200 tied up in the bulls. We can ship the ones that didn't sell for beef & get close to the $1000 price. Why guarantee a bull for less???? than what he's worth. I definately don't believe in striking off an animal to a fake buyer. Much rather they said "no sale", although most sales won't allow that. This subject is always a "hot topic" whenever it comes up - in person, at meetings, on this forum, etc. A lot of good comments have been made. [/QUOTE]
