A 20 may be a better investment, but I would still much prefer to shoot a 16.

The cost you laid down to purchase. Or maybe better stated Bought Right for a good if not discounted price. At least guns you don't have to feed.

Brett's got it right. You buy your stocker or feeder cattle, weanling pigs or weanling lambs as low as possible, because you can't count on the market being up when your ready to sell. And holding them back, for a better market costs money, out of your pocket.

Many of us would probably have to admit that our best buys, as far as cash outlay goes, were ones where someone contacted us with an offer, out of the blue .......... or that we just stumbled onto ........... and not specific guns that we went looking for and found. Reminds me of the old saying "You'll back over more good luck than you'll ever chase down".
