[QUOTE="jcissell, post: 72215, member: 383"] Earl, I wouldn't suggest buying cows from an auction. Go to a reputable breeder and get someone to go with you that knows cattle so they can look at them and let you know what you are getting. B/c unless you get someone that is really honest, anything they have will be worth the BIG dollars. As Dun said, I would leave the fence if it works. If it has some holes I would just patch them up, b/c it doesn't take much to hold cows in. When you do put up new fence, I would go with 4 strand barbwire. Get good barbwire too. You will regret it later if you don't. What makes you want to go with Dexter cows? I don't know much about them. I would go with an angus cross of some type. Alot of people like black baldies. They're an angus/hereford cross. They sell really well at the sale barns also. Most anything with an angus influence will sell well at the barns though. If I were you I wouldn't go with brangus or anything with brahma influence. They tend to get wild and are pretty mean while calving. Josh [/QUOTE]
