Guy's full of crapola. You can buy extra fancy bred heifers,vaccinated, tested, and retested, AI'd and or pasture bred of any breed or combo of breeds you can think of for less than 1k. Tifton HERD sale, check it out. Was that guy named Ed Simms?

Nahhhhhhhhh...... Ed was over browsing the belt buckles.

And I agree. Crapola infused cow owner.

I had the same kind of thing happen last year, trying to buy some yearling crossbred heifers. I ended up getting registered BRED heifers for the same price and made a new friend at the same time. I watched the sale reports for 3 weeks and sure enuf the fella that tried to screw me got about $100 apiece less for them than he was asking me, and they were OPEN to boot.

Don't let that kind of stuff bother you, be patient and the right deal will come along.

He was trying to see what he could get--silly man,now you're gonna wonder about every deal you have with him and count your hay bales twice.. I wouldn't trust much if any of what he says..

 

[mnmtranching]

That's what I was gonna say. "a guy that will screw you one way will do it another" Maybe call around some before you next hay order. :cowboy:

Don't know the gentleman, but might have been like a lot of people---Talking to hear himself talk, DREAMLAND !!! :tiphat:

I had a fella try to sell me a highly papered cutting horse for $5000. He said, and I quote " he is worth $50,000 if someone will give it to me". I think he finally sold it for $1500 with the saddle. Or maybe he sold the custome saddle for $1000 and $500 for the horse. Either way someone saved themselves around $48,000.
