[QUOTE="Cowdirt, post: 822793, member: 2609"] Like Caustic, if I'm in the market for cows, I get to the barn early. I get on the catwalk with paper and pencil and begin gathering info. Find cows that look to be prospects. If she has a calf, I then go to the calf pen and match up mama and calf by finding calf with number one higher than mom to see what kind of job mama's doing with baby. Talk with the guys mouthing and preg checking the cows. When the cow comes in to the sell ring, much of my home work is already done. While others are running the cow up, from a seat with good visibility I continue to look at feet, udder, structure, disposition etc. By then I've made up my mind. I know what I'm willing to pay and usually only bid one or two times. I either get the bid or don't real quick. No point in participating in the run up game. [/QUOTE]
