If you were the breeder there's a good chance you'd be ignoring it because you'd know people realise what goes on in a lot of these cases.

I think the point is it is an extremely good heifer and if you want it you only have 3 options breed one (not that easy) buy one or do without. Then if there’s 2 people that want it!

For all we know she could have made less than the 2nd price.
It's as cheap to say a high number as it is a low one.

Either that, or arrange to buy one before the sale, then put it through for the razzamatazz and publicity....

Well there is a possibility which I couldn’t comment on.
How many would be moaning about it on here if they sold one for that?
I wouldn’t
Yeh I get that, and having 2 consortiums/partnerships bidding against each other just runs away. Less risk each plus the financial might
That's the whole problem with the system isn't it. Nobody knows if it's real or not

Plus if you think about the price of a new scania v 8 with a walking floor trailer it isn’t that much really

I say it no matter how rich I was or how many lorries I owned/leased I still wouldn't pay quarter of a mil for a fat bad legged heifer.

Maybe this gives a sense of scale of the prices paid in the past (the inflation price is the gns in today’s money)

Wonder what fat cattle and lambs were worth back then and what they should be worth now?
