[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 209063, member: 539"] Having bought many very young calves at the salebarn in years past, and not losing any of them, I would have to say your post is prejudiced at best and plain old ignorance at worst. The trick is to have enough experience and knowledge of what to look for to be able to tell the ones that are going to die from the ones that can be saved - based on her description that might have been discernable and it might not have been. It certainly helps if one knows what to do after getting them home, too. As far as I can tell the only thing Sherilyn did wrong was start off with a more difficult situation than she had the experience/knowledge to handle - there is no shame in that. We've all been there, done that at one point or another. As for your statement about only culls being sold through the salebarn, all I can say is one mans (or womans) cull is another mans (or womans) treasure. Just because a particular cow doesn't work in one operation doesn't mean she won't work in another. Just my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
