[QUOTE="txag, post: 37470, member: 8"] buying calves from a salebarn shouldn't be too much of a risk. i agree with CRR that you may want to ask someone to help you. if you don't have anyone to help you, some things you might want to look for are: healthy appearance (no runny noses, coughing, etc), good body condition, ear tags or notches (these will identify calves who have probably come from some kind of management program. notches often indicate some type of vaccination program), bangs vaccination tags on heifers. are you looking for heifers to raise for cows? steer calves or bull calves to raise for slaughter?
