[QUOTE="Toad, post: 1282259, member: 20188"] If you buy from the right person you may be able to find some halter broke steers. But if you buy from a market be sure you have good fence from the place you unload. Keep in mind that many steer you can buy will be in the weening process and looking for any way to escape and run home to mommy. A number of years ago when I bought my first load I had a learning experience. I bought a load of 5 weight bulls and proceed to run them through the chute to cut them. One of the last ones had different plans. He broke out and disappeared into the distance. We hunted for days and finally heard of a bull loose a complete county away. Yes this bull hadn't stopped running for days. We finally found him in the middle of the woods feeding off a food plot. After a month or two of failed attempts to capture him we finally got him and took him directly to the sale again. The moral of the story is be sure you are ready before you bring a load home.
