lol.. well apparently you've never been to the "Big" Brahman sale in Houston.. where nothing brings under $10,000! This was my first year at Denver, I had always heard prices were high because it's the "big" Simmental show.
I guess my surprise was the spread.. $8,000+ or under $3,000. There were some very good cattle that sold there, and "standing room only" crowd. I did pick up a nice Dream On heifer very reasonably.
If you want to PM me, I can give you lot prices.
