2434me 13 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Is 300-500 more than they would fetch at the knackery ? What,s a horse carcase worth these days ? Nobody wants to make a loss these days and will sell for the highest return! You might just be paying too much ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
