[QUOTE="CowgirlUpNY, post: 358479, member: 4092"] Great story! and thanks for the 'how to' on searching. I was trying to use that search on the bottom of the page, which obviously would explain why I wasn't successful. By the by, went to look at those cows today. Now I'm not up on all the lingo and breeds and what not. He (seller) had two red/whites, one heifer, one bull (will be castrated) and then another black/white heifer (is that a black baldy or a black/white hereford, I think someone told me once there is no such thing as a black/white hereford, that it's actually referred to as a black baldy and it is a HerefordX) Overall, they looked pretty decent and dam/sire were there as well and pretty good looking to this untrained eye. They're a hair under a year old. Once I gave husband the nod that I think they looked like we wanted them to look, he negotiated the price. We'll be picking them up sometime this week, when seller can get them seperated from the rest of the herd without too much trouble. We were able to walk among them for the most part, they just could have cared less that we were there, they were too busy easting. Cute little calf he had there too, just a wandering among us, and with a recent post I was wondering how momma would behave, but she was very quiet about the whole thing. Well that's my days' experience. Hopefully we made the right decisions. It's really hard on the head, heart and wallet when Husband comes home with something from the auction and it doesn't live. Hopefully HE learned his lesson this time around. [/QUOTE]
