[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1764021, member: 25884"] Pretty calf and real good sized. We no longer pay much attention to what the vet at the sale says about "age" according to teeth when we buy them... other than not over paying for SS or BM cows compared to the rest. We run every single one through the chute at the barn... look at their teeth ourselves. Give a Triangle 10 vaccine, black leg, and if they are thinner, we will often worm. Don't know what they came from. Make our own determination as to age... possible future time on the farm. Had one I bought at a sale years ago, BM and thin Charolais... bought her for a song... but cows were down then too... she got some weight back on her and kept her for 3 more calves because she did a bang up job. Old doesn't automatically cut them off at one and done... but I am getting better at shipping them before I bury them! I have A LOT better luck with old cows than I do with buying heifers or young cows...plus they got old for a reason on most farms... [/QUOTE]
