[QUOTE="LazyARanch, post: 694971, member: 11544"] Hey all, thanks MUCH for all the comments... ALL good comments and I'll give you a little more background. He does NOT feed them anything other than the grass pasture that they are on in the summer. He said he will grain them a few times a week in the winter. Just cracked corn. They are home grown and raised, and he only owns 9 cows. He wants to sell 8, and he's keeping a yearling heifer (she's in one of the pics) and a baldy cow that was a daughter or granddaughter to one of his grandpa's favorite cows. He isn't in the cattle business, he works off the home place part-time as he is retired. They are keeping their horses, and he's also selling off his gooseneck livestock trailer which I also looked at to purchase but its a bit rusty and the floor wasn't too good so I took a pass. I happened to find their sale ad by a fluke and I intend to keep it close to my chest for now til I decide what I want to do. He is several hundred miles from me so taking MY vet along to check them isn't an option. It also is across a state line so I was told I'd need health certs anyway so I'd have them mouthed and preg-tested. We have NOT hammered out any purchase details yet. He wants $875 per cow and that includes the cow with the month old hereford heifer on her side. I think its a pretty good deal, actually a DANG good deal if the cows are bred. What say you? and yep, I'd have to have them all vaccinated too.... AND wormed before they come home. My husband has only seen pics as he's on the road, and like I said before, I"m a real GREENhorn! ps. we had taken out some shuckings of sweet corn, he and his wife were canning corn when I arrived so yep, they are chewing on their version of CANDY :lol2: [/QUOTE]
