I sold one that had a great set of horns in February this year that should have brought $200, but only brought $75. We had some snow that morning. I think I should have figured out earlier that the Perkins sale is a Goat sale not sheep.... I am looking at a food coop here in OK... What have I got to lose.. I already lost $300 on that last load....
