Sold for $115k in Reno at the sheep show. Big money.

Big money!
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

Wow, that’s incredible! Great to see so much money going to help the animals!
That’s some serious coin though!
My interpretation of the rules are open to interpretation.
Once I thought I was wrong but I was mistaken.

Good for them, you can’t take all that money with you. I have a feeling that those able to buy these auction tags aren’t that affected by the cash outlay. I like to think if I had those type of resources I’d do the same
