[QUOTE="BK9954, post: 1278420, member: 23651"] I bought a bred hereford earlier this year. She aborted the baby at 7 months. I wound up taking a $750 loss after I culled her. After this situation it has left a bad taste in my mouth. I am thinking it is better to buy or raise my own heifers and breed them myself. I have some heifers I have raised from calves and I had them AI with a low birthweight bull. With the bred cow I bought it makes me wonder if they sold her bred because she did this before. Got it from a cattle broker that I had just met.Needless to say I wont do business with him again. I took her to the sale barn as I dont want the reputation of selling problem cows in my area. I can say I have learned a costly lesson on this one. Atleast it wasnt 10 bad cows [/QUOTE]
