I'm adjusting my budget on livestock due to increased costs in the past month on livestock; most of the LFS/LPS stock prices have risen in the 20-25% range. As this has happened between planning & contest start, I'd say we should allow for that. 50$ on the 5.5's and 60$ on the 10's to compensate for inflation sounds reasonable to me, to be hitting 100-150$ that's nuts...
Well so far you're the only one who thinks $50 is good, most are saying at least $100 so I don't think it would be fair to go against the majority, if more agree with you then fine but if not you don't have to spend the full extra $100 you can just spend the extra $50.

Also another note, at the end of the contest we can all post our total $ spent. The voters will decide what they prefer.
