[QUOTE="greenwillowherefords, post: 47220, member: 587"] OK. This is just my opinion and experience so let me completly finish before you all start hitting your reply buttons. :stop: You know how they say that 1 rotten apple spoils the whole basket, well I no longer buy from the smaller unknown ranchers because on a couple of experiences that I've had in the last few years. Alot of the smaller operations don't test their bulls and won't guarantee their heifers. I bought 8 heifers from a smaller rancher, 3 of the heifers wouldn't breed, they had growths in their cervix and uterus. The vet said that it was probably a genetic thing. When I told the rancher this he said oh well that was the cattle business. Another experience was a bull that wasn't any good that I purchased from a different ranch. So now I only buy from reputable and well known ranches. This is how I make my living, so this is the way that I run my business. OK. Now all of you guys can hit that reply button and post your opinions. :) I want you to know that I respect all of your opinions, but you also have to respect that this is my opinion and the way that I run my business. :)[/quote] Why not still purchase from a small rancher who will back his cattle? Many of us little guys buy our seedstock when we start out from reputable sources. Talk to other customers first. By the way, Campground, those are some good-looking cattle. Txshmom, are you interested in good cattle from neighboring states as well? [/QUOTE]
