I don't know what it is about cows and business - but here's another entry from my e-mail inbox....
Over the years, a farmer had purchased several cars and trucks from his local automobile dealer. One day, the car salesman contacted the farmer about buying a cow.
The farmer and the salesman negotiated, and the salesman bargained the farmer from his initial $750.00 asking price down to $499.95 and a contract was signed at that price.
However, on delivery, the farmer presented the car salesman with the following invoice:
| Basic Cow | $499.95 |
|---|---|
| Shipping & Handling | $35.75 |
| Extra Stomach | $79.25 |
| Two Tone Exterior | $142.10 |

| Heavy Duty Straw Chopper | $189.60 |
| Four Spigot/High Output Drain System | $149.20 |
| Automatic Fly Swatter | $88.50 |
| Genuine Cowhide Upholstery | $179.90 |
| Deluxe Dual Horns | $59.25 |
| Automatic Fertilizer Attachment | $339.40 |
| 4x4 Traction Drive Assembly | $884.16 |
| Pre-Delivery Wash and Comb | $69.80 |
| FARMER'S SUGGESTED LIST PRICE: | $2843.36 |
