[QUOTE="jkwilson, post: 692336, member: 969"] I agree with what the others have posted, but you can find salebarn bound cows that are worth having. A neighbor won't sell you junk (make that a [u]good[/u] neighbor), but he might have a cow that is off synch on calving with the rest of his herd, related to his bull or many other reasons that you won't care about, but that makes him mark her for culling. I sent one to market this spring who had twins last year and didn't breed back until November. She wasn't bad, but she wasn't good enough for me to deal with a summer calver and then hold her off until spring to breed her to get her back in synch. She'd have made an okay cow for somebody.
