[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1278425, member: 9096"] You win some, you lose some.. who knows the history of that cow, maybe it was just bad luck.. cows are full of that... My biggest worry about buying unknown cows is bringing diseases onto the farm... some of them cause abortions too. Even though it may be cheaper (on paper at least) to just buy bred heifers, I really like knowing their history, so I retain my own, and know the performance of all their family members about 5 generations.. to me that's worth something.
