[QUOTE="stocky, post: 128390, member: 1150"] I have bought some bred heifers from the sale barn. You never know for sure what you will get. What the auctioneer says means nothing as we have discussed on another thread. The key to buying at the sales barn is to buy them enough cheaper than it would cost you if you bought them at the farm to withstand some false information. 2 weeks ago, I bought 16 heifers that will weigh around 1100-1200 lbs that are black white faced and are supposed to start freshening Feb 15. 2 of them are springing now, so I know the Feb 15 isnt a fact. However, I paid 1,000 each for them and they are big and fancy and should have brought around 1200-1250, so I thought they were worth taking a chance on. Many other times I have bought some heifers that were good herd prospects but were too cheap that day and things have gone well, but I paid considerably less than current market for them.
