[QUOTE="Chris H, post: 1280209, member: 1974"] I like that answer best of all. Another story on salebarn cattle: Our vet is the salebarn vet. I talked to him yesterday and he mentioned a mutual friend that bought a group of Angus bull calves last week. The friend knew where they came from, a well known Angus breeder in our area. Friend told vet to cut all but two. The friend is all excited about getting 2 Angus bulls from the well known Angus breeder, at salebarn prices. Our vet said he never bothered pointing out that if they were herdsire quality, the breeder wouldn't have shipped them to the salebarn. Maybe these bull calves are better quality than our friends, but more likely he'll encounter 100+ lb birthweights, or subpar weaning weights, or maybe some genetic defect the breeder was culling out. In the case of the breeder, he made no representation of these calves, he was shipping healthy feeder calves. I have no problem with that. [/QUOTE]
