Jordan certainly does have a good reputation, but I've never been to a replacement sale where the auctioneer made much, if any, mention about cattle being worm free , recently wormed, etc. Most folks that I know, if we don't know the specific rancher selling the cattle and know his program, simply "worm the hell out of them" before turning newly purchased replacements out into our pastures. On the other hand, I expect that the auction house and the vets better be very diligent (and correct!) about what they say is the estimated months pregnant, estimated age, bangs and TB tested, etc. [/QUOTE]
