...that we will simply agree to disagree on an animals worth.

>>According to your "value system," and logic, a female proven Russian would be worth about $3000, because the babies sell for 100 each, 5 eggs per clutch, 5-6 clutches per year.

Yeah, I'd agree with that logic. Obviously you feel this is a contest of sorts and I'll conceed... you WON! Hooray. You don't seem to have much as much value for an animal that's a proven breeder and I do. The end.

>>That's the most ridiculous way of calculating worth I've ever heard. Why don't you factor in all the eggs she'll lay during her lifetime while you're at it?

I just might and UP the price a few grand more with your 'novel' idea! Man, I never thought of that one. Thanks! I'll be rich soon enough selling proven breeder Pancakes for 10 grand or more.

Matt
p.s. - Just curious why you place a lower value on them (if you have 'proven breeder' Pancakes at all)? Or are you one of the folks involved with trying to dump a TON of WC Pancakes for peanuts?
