[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1719476, member: 39373"] I've been to fairview a time or two. First animals I sold there, was 2 dud black heifers that failed to do their job! One aborted, the other failed to raise her calf. And some pretty nice calves. They sold 1 dud heifer by herself. Then they sold the other dud heifer with one of my big red heifer calves!! The red heifer was half the age of that worthless black one. Knowing what I know now, I'd a shut that shat down! But yeah... it happens alot there or so I've heard. The last one, I told them to preg her THEN sell her. I knew she was bred! They sold her then pregged her. Guess what?? Buyer didn't want her. EXACTLY what I wanted to avoid. It was late in the sale so she had to sit there another week losing weight. About another 50 pounds by my calculations. She had been weighed repeatedly. They didn't charge me to feed her for another week tho. For all the good it did. I love the bottle heifer! Don't wanna keep her for a replacement? [/QUOTE]
