[QUOTE="TREY-L, post: 363612, member: 6073"] M, some great points. He didn't have any health records, only his word and reputation, which around here still means something. The gentleman is older (80+) and has to rely on his "hands" to work his cattle for him. Judging by the looks of his brood stock I'm not all that worried about his health program. They will be vaccinated and wormed again anyway. He is also still practicing law full time, I think just to keep him active, so I think he is kind of down sizing. I looked over the rest of his herd pretty close and it didn't appear that he retained any replacement heifers, and at his age I can understand. These heifers will be retained on my farm and allowed to breed with one of my registered bulls (after vet check of course), and off spring will probobly be sold at local sale barn. As for paperwork, these are pure bred, not registered pure bred, and I didn't buy them as such, and won't be selling offspring as such. He said he used to only have registered cattle, but several years ago he quit registering them "because the AICA was getting so money hungry". Trey [/QUOTE]
