[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1707669, member: 24816"] Here, there are quite a few decent with decent breeding potential to be found at the stockyards, just depends on what happens to be there. Sometimes it’s better than others. You have to be very selective. When I was buying heifers to resell as breds, you have to make a quick assessment and try to gauge disposition and quality or potential quality as best you can. I always like a situation where a seller brings a good group of steer calves, then if they have a group of heifers selling after the steers that’s usually some good prospects. Sometimes just a group of heifers brought in that look like they matchup good then likely they are from the same farm and should be pretty good. Sometimes I would buy singles if they looked like they would grow into being a good cow. [/QUOTE]
