[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1278488, member: 12607"] Can't imagine going to the local salebarn here and buying bred cows to bring home, unless it were a special herd dispersal sale. There may be some good ones most days, but I'm not taking that chance... It's 'caveat emptor', as far as I'm concerned. If I'm sending a cow to the barn... there's a problem with her... less than desirable disposition, slow breeding, bad feet, bad udder/teats, age, or she's open. I'll have palpated any before they go. If they're open, I'll sell them as opens. If they're bred...I have to pay the extra $3 for the salebarn vet to affirm my palpation, but I'll sell them as breds... they may raise a good calf for someone who's willing to take a chance on them, but there's something there that I don't want to have to deal with again.
