It sold for $1250 because you weren't there. I agree that we tend to bid more than we should getting caught up in it and all. What chaps me about auctions is the bumpers and sometimes the bumper is the one running his mouth. I was out to get a bull one day and one (nice one) came into the ring and the "whatamIbidimmaimmmagimmeadime....." started ranting and had no responses. So, I said what the heck so I kicked in for several bids while the price was right and after several the price started moving up enough I decided to stop bidding and wait for the one I wanted. Well pilgrims, all of a sudden the bidding came to a screeching halt. Seems the second bidder he would look at after getting a response from me .....get this....was a phantom.

Gave $950 for a 2 yr old Reg. Brangus. Mark
