[QUOTE="dawnrogerl, post: 602123, member: 6679"] That sounds almost familiar kmacginly, The very first cow that we bought was at a dispersal sale in WV. I had talked to a lot of people in the business before hand and they told me that they thought I would be able to get a good buy there. Extremely good pedigrees. Well we drove to WV from NC stayed over night as did people from IL, WI, Oh, In, etc. and the prices started out really cheep. We purchased a good 5 year old cow, with a heifer calf and bred back for $1,000. WOW!!!! The sale was for something like over 200 head. About half way through the sale the seller stopped the sale, madder then **##. Now for the punch line. When we sent the truck to pick up the cow and calf, the seller said that we were mistaking. There was no calf. We got her home and had her checked and she was not preg. On top of that after several tries she would not take AI and we turned her in with the bull. Lucky she is now Preg. and also worth the $1,000. we paid for her. Every sale that we went to for months after that one, it was the talk of the industry. The last I knew he still has the cattle.
