[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1815125, member: 498"] I had to go to town to get diesel in the pickup. I know that we will be capturing and hauling the BM cows next week and I will need to be fueled up for that adventure. I figured I might as well run up to La Grande and watch the sale. The sale starts and there is just a few people in there. They sell a horse, a few sheep, and some goats. I am just sitting there brain dead not planning on buying anything. First calves in the ring are 3 black steers weighing 330. They sell for $2.22. After they sell I think dang I should have bought them. Then they go to selling pairs. I think they are selling pretty cheap but I have no where to go with them and we are shipping our BM cows next week. After about 6 or 7 pairs they run in a bigger cow with a steer calf. Clear down to $1,800 and he can't get a bid so he splits them. They bring $2525 to split. Dang I should have bought her at $1,800 and the 6 or 7 pairs before her. After that he just splits all the pairs. I could have just put the cows on the truck with the BM cows and been into those 250-300 pound calves next to nothing.. Not paying attention and just sitting there just cost me a couple thousand. [/QUOTE]
