If he bought them on Saturday and considering he is from Trumann, I assume he bought them at the salebarn in Paragould. You should be warned about buying cows at a sale. Especially that one. Since you say it was a herd sellout you may have been ok, but very rarely would you want to buy cows there. I bought 2 there one time that were 5 yrs old and 3rd period bred. Sold them there a month later, for them to be No mouth, short and solid, and one even went back to period 2 from period 3. Needless to say I lost money on the sale. I didn't say anything to Ward, the owner of the barn, but really should have. He is a really nice guy and I am sure would have done something about it. But I learned my lesson, I won't buy another cow from a salebarn.
