[QUOTE="trappersteve, post: 1095295, member: 20918"] Was going to try to find some good commercial cows that were already bred and have a few questions. Can you find good cows at the salebarn? Im a little cautious of salebarn breds because im Leary of why they were there in the first place (I don't really want someone else's junk) . Or would I be better off buying heifers about breeding age and getting them tamed down a little before breeding them. (I've heard it's easier to tame down a heifer than a mature cow) . Here the prices are almost the same between a 6 weight heifer as a bred cow. The upside I see to buying cows is you will get your money back quicker if she has a healthy calf. The upside to buying heifers is you can breed to the bull of your choice and you know exactly how old she is and hopefully retain her for many years . The downside is it will take almost 2 years before she will produce any income. Your thoughts? [/QUOTE]
