   (polled) Herefords, I *think* they were around $10K apiece.

   $100,000 for a rodeo bull is correct because of the breeding.   
      
   To be perfectly fair, 100K is NOT what you wrote, but 1000K, (one million) as   
   this is the actual copy/paste: "$1000,000"—   
      
   Once upon a time, when I worked (briefly!) for the IRS, the head honcho walked   
   in to the training class to give something akin to a "pep talk" and made a   
   similar (spoken / numerical) error.  I wish I'd been taking actual notes with   
   pencil and paper at    
   that time, because the figure (of U.S. debt) at that time was stated in a way   
   that was meaningless.   
      
   So I asked him, "You said the debt is [$Q?]— Did you mean [$A] or [$B]?"  He   
   couldn't answer, as apparently, even back in the 1980s, the Federal government   
   was F'd up.  He did, however, say he'd "get back to me on that," but never   
   did, other than to    
   have me fired.   
      
   So sure, I can see bulls going for $100K these days, but "1000,000" simply did   
   not make sense.  That's why I used the [*clearly* edited suggestion] of [10K]   
   and mentioned "but if you'd care to acknowledge the suggested edit, or correct   
   me, feel free."     
   Which you have done, thank you :-)  So now back to the analysis....   
      
   S$:> As far as these bulls being symbols of my previous suitor's as I was   
   married 4 times and one marriage to the same guy twice which was a big   
   mistake.    
      
   So even though that sounds like 3 different guys, that still makes for 4   
   different time periods / relationships, thus each one *might* be symbolized as   
   one of those roan (?) "rust" colored bulls.  It just seemed to be a   
   possibility, thus the suggestion.   
      
   > All my husbands were good looking and all blondes with blue eyes. The   
   [Brahman] bull could represent a man I was engaged to but had commitment   
   problems, so after three postponements, I walked away.    
      
   Hmmm... OK, so there's another possible "fit" to the symbology, but my   
   curiosity is over the choice of the word "Brahman"— to me, that name / word   
   evokes a religion.  From the wiki—   
      
   In Hinduism, Brahman connotes the highest universal principle, the ultimate   
   reality in the universe. In major schools of Hindu philosophy, it is the   
   immaterial, efficient, formal and final cause of all that exists. It is the   
   pervasive, infinite, eternal    
   truth, consciousness and bliss which does not change, yet is the cause of all   
   changes.   
      
   In Hebrew/Judeo-Christianity, that would be "God" (and God is Love, 1 John   
   4:8) and #OnlyLoveCreatesUnity, #OnlyLoveTranscendsLogic.   
      
   The idea that their horns have all been sawed off appears to indicate they   
   have no sex drive left (or have possibly all found themselves in stagnant   
   relationships or such... either way, they're no longer out to propagate their   
   species.)   
      
   By the way, have we ever discussed religion at a personal level?  If we have,   
   I've forgotten it.  These days, with the brain damage (from 2013) I basically   
   only process what's written in front of me and let yesterday slip into the   
   mists of the past.
