[QUOTE="Dave, post: 37474, member: 498"] I agree that you can get good calves at the sale barn. If you have the time go there and just hang out and watch for several weeks before you buy anything. One important thing to remember cattle that seem cheap at the auction probably aren't healthy. That is one thing to watch for. If a calf is selling cheap, study it and try to figure out why the buyers aren't bidding. There are also buyers who buy the junk and buyers who buy the good ones. Watch those buyers to see who is buying what and approach the ones who buy the good cattle. Most importantly don't be in a hurry. It is better to take a little time and get a good one than to be impatient and spend time doctoring a poor one. Dave [/QUOTE]
