[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 1119799, member: 3162"] Some sales still have the occasional doodlers and rannies the traders bring in. There is a reason they start those cheap. Somebody bought them and will now sell on craigslist. You can probably make a pretty good living taking advantage of folks. It amazes me that people go buy from stores all the time and check the bread, look for broken eggs in the carton, check for expiration dates etc. The same people refuse to buy calves at the sale barn. You get entire estates going through the barn occasionally and some of those cattle genetics have been retained for a long time in the herd. That old cattlemen knew cattle and kept good genetics. Kids lived in the city and don't have the time to mess with the cows. So the herd gets disbursed at the sale barn. Some horse trader is going to sell cows with half the genetic potential for considerably more to someone on craigslist. Probably bought 30 head at the sale barn and puts the culls out for a profit. He's got the perfect bait and switch opportunity too if someone sees a different cow they like. [/QUOTE]
