[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 860622, member: 9"] At local sale barns, "what you see is what you get (sometimes get less than what you see)". Sellers names are anonymous. Wranglers (pen riders) herd an animal(s) into the sale ring. Auctioneer starts. Comments will be made as to heifer, cow, steer, bull. If a heifer or cow will comment as to whether animal has been palpated for pregnancy check (sometimes no comment). You won't get animal history, pedigree, medical record, etc. Sale barns sell "meat" by the pound (or as a young, old female (0r) if the female is sold with calf at side.) Only way you will know where the animal comes from and its history is to purchase from a ranch direct via private treaty. Hope this helps. Bill [/QUOTE]
