[QUOTE="stocky, post: 205719, member: 1150"] The heifer that is having trouble walking might straighten up over time, or she might not. He might as well keep her and see if she gets better or not, she wont bring much now. The one that had the calf cut out, it all depends on how much damage was done with the pulling. She may rebreed just fine, or she might have been torn up too badly. I would also keep her and let her fatten up and if she breeds back, he can consider keeping her, or sell her in July when she has fattened up for the feedlot. As was said over and over in these forums----NEVER believe what is anounced at a sale barn. Use your own judgement over what is announced. Any time you buy a first calf heifer at a sale, ask yourself one question----would I pay this price if she is bred to a big-calf bull? If the answer is no, then leave her alone because she might be. I know it is tempting to believe the good auctioneer story, but over and over on these boards we are reading about someone who had problems that werent supposed to be, because at the sale barn "they said". It is a shame that you cant believe what is said, but dont do it. [/QUOTE]
