Anyone interested in a barren cow for a pet?

[Rafter S]

Only $1200.00. It's awfully tempting but I think I'll pass. (Someone once told me that purple text denotes sarcasm, in case you're wondering.)

Everybody needs a little pasture art on their place. :lol: I don't think I could get $1200 worth of hamburger out of her and I dang sure don't need any pets on my place.

Somebody will buy her. Excellent marketing strategy.

that's a little high for hamburger and a rug. Now im sure someone might pay 500 to 1000 for her head if its mounted right.

 

[Deepsouth]

One of those UT people will buy her just because she's a long horn. You know how they are.

You're probably right. But would someone who did that even qualify as a Hobby Rancher, or is that a whole other category?

 

[M-5]

I texted the number to see if they still have her

 

[backhoeboogie]

It says "Barren since her last calf". Doesn't sound like she's sterile. Low on mineral?

Hey. She's "registered". Some of you are big on papers.

Whole other category. Pet. That is what they're marketing it as.

 

[backhoeboogie]

Some PETA members needs to "rescue" her.

makes a fella consider it just for the he!! of it.

I still require my pets to produce.. she does have a nice rack on her.

If "very tame" means she'll allow you to feed her treats, I'll definitely pass... Very tame is when they come running for the 1% chance that there could possibly be a treat

What is the difference ,keeping a sterile heifer or keeping a sterile steer as I have seen people do? :cboy:

None that I'm aware of. And if someone wants to do that I don't care. It just seems like a lot of money.

 

[sim.-ang.king]

Those horns ought to worth quite a bit.

 

[M-5]

Must have sold it , they didn't text me back.

They ran a steer through the sale about a year ago that had a rack so big that he couldn't fight with a horse anymore and that's the only reason he made it to the sale. He looked like he was about 1/4 watusi and the rest longhorn. As I recall he brought upwards of $2000. I don't remember who bought him but all they were getting was horns.

If local I would give $800 for that particular cow today and make money barren or not. I am not opposed to having a pet that can make me money. $1200 is a little steep for me though.

... keeping a sterile steer as I have seen people do? :cboy:

Is there such a thing as a potent steer?

Yes there is, but not fertile.
