Schrag sale

[Doc]

Anybody going to Schrags' sale?

 

[cowz]

I would love to go...have been through their catalog several times.  Are you going, Doc? 

 

[Doc]

Cowz, No, I'm not going. I was thinking about sending some money but I hate to give it to any of the rep's because they always spend every penny you give them & a little more. I would always rather find someone who isn't going to profit from spending your money & give it to them.

 

[cowz]

You hit that one right on, my friend!  Those reps never call you back and say, "congrats, you got the bid for 1000 less than you wanted to spend"! ;D  For me it's usually, sorry, but if you would have been willing to spend 1000 more! Ha

 

[Doc]

Cowz, Thats why anytime I go a sale I'm more than glad to bid for someone, because I hope someone will do the same for me at a sale someday. I had a rep one time that I gave money to on two bulls. Didn't hear back from him after the sale so I presumed I didn't get either one. I called him two weeks later about a bull in another sale & he asked me if I needed two bulls because he bought one for me at the last sale it just wasn't either one I gave him money on. Now giving him credit : he only spent $250.00 more than I gave him , but we did use that bull for 7 years.

Lot 6 topped the Sale at $ 22,000. Averaged in the mid 6K range.

Lot 6 really looked the part!  Wish I had an extra 23K laying around!

 

[shorthorns r us]

was 6 the pretender daughter?  shortdawg, did you buy anything?

Lot 6 was the Augusta Pride. Lot 3 was the Pretender and I believe she brought 11k. I bought Lot 21A. She is a Pure Pride out of the Lovely Lady cow family.
