[QUOTE="ChrisB, post: 874065, member: 122"] After skimming through much of this thread I found it ironic. A month or so back people were complaining about hay producers selling their product for market price because it seemed to high. Now there are beef producers selling their product above market price and most posters seem to be in their corner. I guess everything is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. It always seems that the person doing the selling, whether it's a car, tractor, hay, or beef thinks what they are selling is better than everyone else's. I worked with a guy that had a few pigs and kept track of all his costs and when he sold them to his friends and family he sold them for his cost plus 10% for his time. He said the wasn't doing it to make money so that is what he charged. No problem, but I always thought it was funny that what he charged was 50% more than the hog farmer down the road who was making a living at it and was trying to make as much money as he could.
