Very good information Sir Loin. If I weren't heading to the farm this weekend I'd go with you to that sale.

I’m sure they will, if you buy one!
Just ask the auctioneer before you place your winning bid, “am I buying a “heieferette” or a cow”? If he says a “heieferette ask him how long will it be before she is a cow and will the owner guarantee it.
Let me know how you make out!

And the next time you buy a steer, ask the auctioneer if the nuts come with it in case you want to screw them back on. :lol:

Any time you’re coming this way just give a hollar and we can at least have coffee.And that goes for all others too.

How far are you from Chattanooga Sir Loin? I've got two kids down there right now at UTC.

 

[Sir Loin]

About 20 Min.
Straight up HWY 58 to 60 and I am 2 min from there.

Wow Sir Loin! You can't catch a break anywhere. If it makes you feel better I have always heard the phrase "1st calf heifer". Must be a south eastern thing.

Hey, it don’t bother me, I love to be challenged. That’s how I learn.
But if you notice they never provide any evidence (source ) to back up their opinion, like I do!
Keep an eye on “heifer” vs “heiferette”. what is the difference? while I stir that pot again.
I will PM you my opinion as to “heieferette” just so you can watch the fun, but keep it under your hat for now. :nod:
