[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 37476, member: 9"] Good advice from the other posters on this thread! Even though we don't buy anything from sale barns, there are some other things to consider. Would advise isolating any animals in separate pen after you buy to see if they develop any health problems. Also, recommend de-worming with an injectible as soon as they arrive at your place. Also, vaccinate for respiratory problems--shipping fever and other "non-sanitary" sale barn pen conditions. You have no idea what "illnesses" arrive in sale barn from all the mixed sources they come from. If you detect any respiratory or bowel problems after you get them, get them treated ASAP. Finally, do what the "best" buyers do...watch what they buy (and reject). Go with the best, learn from the worst (losers). P.S.: Avoid any spooky cattle in the pens...could be trouble-makers at your place or fence crashers. [/QUOTE]
