[QUOTE="BK9954, post: 1419721, member: 23651"] Last year had one I fed for 9 months that never bred back, I paid premium for her private treaty. I dont do business with that guy anymore or pay too much over market price for heifers either. The way the markets are it doesnt make sense to me to pay over market. If you get one at a sale barn then your risk is greatly reduced. Yesterday just bought a FANCY brahman/brangus cross heifer at $1.22 a pound. Those girls are being sold private treaty up to $1500. I paid $720. If she turns out to be a loser back to the auction she goes. But I wont lose $800 like I would buying private. I honestly think a lot of private cattle are extremely overpriced. Now a bull is a different story all together. [/QUOTE]
