[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 13674"] If you're buying cows from the auction barn, it's going to be hard to know, just by looking at the cow, what she will produce. I've had "common" looking cows that produce an excellent calf (with a good bull) and just the opposite as well. If you don't know what you're buying other than what you can see in the ring, I would opt for a good conditioned, 6-7 frame size female. Of course, my first choice would be to either attend a good "replacement female" sale, so you have a little background on the cattle, or a registered sale. It's pretty amazing, but here in Texas, in an "up" female market, you can buy registered cattle for about the money as commercial. [/QUOTE]
