[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 206698, member: 13"] Me, too. A live calf at least shows the cow can produce one calf and keep it alive. But price does play into the picture. If the bred ones are considerably cheaper, that might be the way to go. But get them preg checked before you write the check. You might also want to verify they'll calve within a certain window. A neighbor helped his friend buy some bred cattle. All were supposed to be calved out by the end of January. He bought a bull from us to turn out on March 1, but the cows were still calving. He finally turned the bull out April 1. So his calving season is already strung out. [/QUOTE]
