[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 291701, member: 3162"] Thank ya Paint. I still have a fear of the cattle auctions. It is pretty easy to get caught up in the frenzy when you see something you want and it all goes pretty fast too. You'd better know what you're looking at and the professionals are there buying who do it all the time. It is kind of hard to compete with them. Professional buyers make mistakes on a few head but they buy 100 or so. If I make 5 mistakes on 10 head it is a 50% failure. I feel really good about the cattle I bought yesterday. I was looking them over again this a.m. They are bawling for home. Gave them a bit of feed. They are settling in with an old matriarch "pet" cow I have. They'll bond to her and I'll move them to the farm in while all settled. The wheat, rye and clover are coming on hard. Think I will move them in when the herd is moved onto some new growth. [/QUOTE]
