[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 470990, member: 3162"] Salebarns are evil corrupt places Just ask this board :lol: :lol: You can get burned at a salebarn (and I have) but you can also do very well (done that too). You will indeed need to sit through many sales and have some experience with cattle (what you don't want and what you can easily fix) before you are proficient. And then, sometimes we just get lucky. I've drug a trailer to the salebarn many times and then drug it home empty. Other times I go to the salebarn without a trailer and have to go home to get it afterwards. There is less risk in taking a sure thing. If you know a good person in your proximity, with cattle, I'd start there just like the previous poster advised. Whatever animal you decide on, decide what you intend to do with it, then make sure it is suitable for your environment, for that function. If you are just going to grow out a steer for freezer meat, any breed will work but some will have better steak than others. [/QUOTE]
