[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 361049, member: 2095"] I saw a bred Shorthorn heifer sell for ~$34,000 at Denver and liked to fell out of my seat. Mr Hudson (now deceased) in Arkansas told me once that he had sold some cows over the years for $40,000plus even $100,000 and I have seen Randy Owen get $15,000++ for a donor that I liked; but I certainly did not like that much. I really do not understand that side of the business; but I acknowledge that it DOES exist. There ARE people who spend more than they have to on their house, on their truck, on their kid's education, on their clothes, on their TV set, on their horse, or on their cows. To me my Grandfather's 1956 built house always was the home I coveted, the base pickup with a strong engine, Air, and cruise was always the truck I wanted, the state schools (Auburn, UAB, and Alabama) were the only ones I considered, I have old CRT tvs (some of them 20 years plus) because I am satisfied with the old tv, my clothes all came from Wal-mart (usually the reduced racks), to me a tractor is a tool that pulls the hay baler it is never a status symbol, and the purpose of registered cows is to multiply registered cows to produce bulls that will sire good commercial calves. NOT everybody see this business THAT way and if they can make money with $34,000 cows MORE POWER to them. [/QUOTE]
