[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 885386, member: 3162"] I guess that "most buyers" thing needs to be quantified in my mind. Millions of head go through a sale each week. Some go back to private treaty but they went through an auction. Don't think there is anyway in hades that many go through private treaty. Cows huh? I don't like people coming into my pasture and try to start dickering prices. I don't go to the grocery store and dicker. This needs to be a simple yes or no situation. Whether you buy $5 worth of gas or fill it up, the price is the same. I don't like going and looking with expectations only to find cattle aren't what I want. If the owner starts dropping prices after I decline, I figure he was trying to get in my pocket from the get go. I can sit through the sale and see them up close without obstructions. Buying bulls is a different thing for me. If I can see calves out of an established sire, he's more valuable because I know what I am getting without "adjustments". [/QUOTE]
