[QUOTE="fenceman, post: 1278489, member: 23460"] I lost on a few older bred cows I've bought. But across the board I've done well with them. I can count about a dozen I own right now that came out of the kill pen. ( Here they will preg check em ,but if the barn owner considers them slaughter s he will sell them buy the pound.) Those dozen have all gave me more than one calf. One old Hereford cow is nursing her 5th right now. More than makes up for the losses. Those old cows are at the sell for a reason, but those old cows also got old for a reason. Weighing the odds is up to you. You want a loss put 2.5 years in that hiefer and have things go south. I keep some heifers. Just making a point. [/QUOTE]
