It's like anything. You can only get out of a project according to what you put in.
The farm that wanted $3500 & was sold out - has done a LOT of work building quality cattle and a great reputation. In the same area, another breeder may have the same breed of cattle and can't give them away - no quality.
I can't see the facination about "small" breeds. They may not eat as much, but they don't give you much in return - and every live animal takes just as much of your TIME no matter what size they are.
