[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 656356, member: 5106"] Not all of us producers are out to screw the buyer. I have some really nice commercial 7yr old 3 in 1's that I need to get rid of because I need to down size my commercial unregistered herd to make room for my growing purebred registered herd. Yes some are crooks but most are good honest people like yourself. I know it is hard to get back on that horse though if you have been burned before. DB do you have producers around you maybe you can even make a trade, like feed for a couple good 3 in ones. The cow will drop a calf next spring or earlier and the heifer calf at the side can be bred at 15 months old and give you a calf in 2011 maybe even a heifer calf , as well as the original cow will give you another calf in 2011. Get a 6-8 year old as that is barely middle age in the beef bus. if they are cared for properly. Just one more thing to think of. Now by 2011 you have 3 more head than you started with. And if by chance they are all heifers your herd is well on their way. With the heifers you are thinking of you will have 16-18 months of feed to give them before they are even bred and if IF they stick on their first breeding you will have 9 more months before you get a calf.. Just something to think about. Also have the cow palpated by a vet to ensure pregnancy and the seller guarantee that the calf is a single heifer( not a twin), I would vaccinate both animals at time of vet check unless seller has documentation from a cert. vet. It would also be in your best interest to take a look at their operation and especially the sire to the bred cow so you know what you are in for come calving. BTW good job on posting the pics.. :tiphat: [/QUOTE]
