[QUOTE="WichitaLineMan, post: 761156, member: 13385"] Went to a sale on Memorial Day and ran into another classic. A bad uddered cow about 8 years old came into the ring. This cow's udder was every bit as bad as the one we discussed in another thread that sold at Star Lake. Just horrid. The cow is not bringing much (but still more than she was worth) (around $1500-$1600). The auctioneer stops and gives a speech. "Buy this cow and take her home and one good flush pays for her". Encouraging the faithful (this is a State purebred sale) that this cow is one that really needs flushed because she is out of "twinkle toes" and sired by "ferdinand". I know an auctioneer is paid to get the highest price he can for animals but this sort of BS is what gives the purebred business a bad name. It was Hereford sale and the LAST thing we need is to be flushing bad uddered cattle. [/QUOTE]
