Went to a big club calf sale in OK the last two years. In 2004 the high heifer sold for $37,500.00 and there was another heifer in the sale that sold for $3,000.00.
This last year in their 2005 sale catalog they showed some previous wins, the only thing they listed for the 37,000 dollar heifer was it winning champion Crossbreed at OKC Youth expo.
Were the heifer that sold for 3,000 went on to be Supreme Champion at the Tulsa State fair.
High Prices do not always mean the best return. Some people just got more money than brains.
