[QUOTE="NoRest Farm, post: 1550457, member: 38046"] Maybe I missed the reason to start with Herefords but I would be hard pressed to advise anyone to start that way. There are a lot of people who buy sale cattle and resale on Craigslist. I've went and looked at some and called the guy out before. Advertising they were cutting back while I could see the glue from a tag on one old cow. I don't understand the dislike of salebarn cattle. I buy a lot and it's just a matter of judging what you want in cattle. I always figure if they have a solid mouth, uniform bag and no hoof problems I'm probably okay. I have definydone better buying older cows compared to four or five year olds. But if you can buy a full mouth cow and have theee or four calves and get the same money back out of her that's a win in my book. [/QUOTE]
