[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 429934, member: 1258"] Hope your trip goes well to see the cows. The sale barn isn't the place to go if you are just starting out and want a couple of quiet cows to work with. A breeder that lets you look at the cows, pick colour and enjoy yourself (that's why your doing this) will be worth the extra price, as long as they aren't ridiculous for cost of course. One thought with a chute. We've never used a proper squeeze chute with the Highlands, too hard with the horns. Just use an alleyway, put a post behind them and then rope the horns and tie them if necessary. Let us know if you get them. They are beautiful cows, definitely nice to look at. Long lasting too, I have a 17 year old who will be calving any day now. [/QUOTE]
