Wants a cheap cow. Can I deliver it for free?

Text

Absolutely real text exchange, in response to a listing I put up for a Jersey milk cow. Asking price $400, in a good market she’s worth $800 easy, maybe as much as $1500, but cows are cheaper than dirt right now:

Whats the best cash deal on the jersey cow

I'd go $350, or trade for 3 tons of dry cow hay. You've got an [out of state] number: they're supposed to get a vet check before crossing state lines. Not a big deal. [about $50]

Is she in good shape what do u think she weighs

She's healthy, could be fatter but not what I would call thin unless I'm looking for a slaughter cow. Not a big framed cow though, she's probably closer to 800 than 850. [lbs]

Would u deliver her 4 350 iam about 70 miles away

I don't have a good trailer. I could probably find somebody to truck her, but you'd have to pay for it.

K thanks

It’s bad enough that I’m getting insultingly low prices for my cows and milk, but expecting me to throw at least $100 worth of trucking in for free?
