[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1411322, member: 25884"] The heifer did look stunted and with a long tail makes her look older than she might have been. She did not look like a "heifer" that someone would want to take home to breed or a feedlot prospect. Also, any animal older than 30 months will not get the better prices and the steer also may have looked his age. They have to take out the backbone and all spinal cord etc due to the BSE thing at slaughter, so the steer would have gone for kill prices and not fat stock. We never sell at a sale barn that we don't stay and watch our stuff. If we don't like the price, we buy them back and then it's our animal to deal with. [/QUOTE]
