[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 135714, member: 57"] yeah we have had a few that never got claimed. i dont like for a random animal to get in with our herd b/c neighbors arent the best at herd management and i never know what they might bring in. or if they were let out on purpose. more often than not its a new purchase that hasnt settled down at home yet. sometimes they will still have the sticker on. we had a brangus cow that we took in mainly to keep her off the roads at night. she was a wild cow (but only when singled out). another time a charolaisXangus heifer showed up and we kept her b/c no one claimed her and she was nice looking and she had a charolais bull calf (that was lucky). sold her after that first calf. another time we sold one that showed up b/c no one came looking for her in a reasonable amount of time. one summer a brangus bull came to visit and it was probably a month before anyone came to look for him. adn then there have been several steer calves show up before. we are good about catching them to return to someone but dont feel its our responsibility to go looking for the owner. they should ask us. its easy for me to tell a new one b/c i know all my animals and also b/c the herd will usually chase the new animal around the first day he arrives.
