[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1709602, member: 25884"] They are flat out lying to you. This is totally NOT NORMAL. We buy and band many bull calves in the 4-600 lb size. We use a callicrate bander. They get tetanus and blackleg. We keep them in the barn lot for 48 hours and then make sure that the sack is cold to touch. Then they go out to pasture or wherever. Usually they sacks fall off in a couple weeks but they shrivel up. Summertime they will smell. Some people slit the bottoms so they don't get smelly. We have often cut the sack off after a week, because it is dead. There is NO WAY their own vet should have okayed a calf in that condition to be sold for a show steer, if he was a real decent practicing veterinarian... I am with [USER=39347]@Hpacres440p[/USER] to document everything that has gone on. I also would talk to your vet about the situation. These people are looking at having some serious allegations against them. I am sometimes a little too outspoken for my own good... but this is outright dishonesty and very very poor stewardship of their own animals. I would go farther than what [USER=39347]@Hpacres440p[/USER] has said, and not only would I confront them with their dishonesty, I would make sure they never sold another calf to any one for a show steer. There are mistakes and making good, and dishonest practices. This is unacceptable. Make sure you have pictures too because if it was me, I would consider going to court for fraud or misrepresentation or something and make them pay if they are not willing to try to make this right. Your son spent his hard earned money. He needs to have some sort of refund or reparation for what they have tried to pull. [/QUOTE]
