[QUOTE="NCLiz 3, post: 1120778, member: 21944"] Bad idea! If you are talking about buying thin beef cows and not dairy cows: Those thin cows are thin for a reason, so unless you are way smarter then the seller, all you are doing is buying a pig in a poke. Fact: There is no way you can look at a cow for a few minutes and know everything the seller knows about that cow. And as the seller has already determined she should go to slaughter, you are only asking for trouble if you buy her. The last cull I took to the barn looked poor in the herd, but looked good compared to all those being sold at the barn that day. She was in the weigh pen, destined for slaughter, when some fool bought her for his cow/calf operation. Little does he know her teeth are gone and she will never regain weight and produce a calf. I would be surprised if she last another year with her teeth. I would suggest you stop trying to out smart those who are successful in the business and start imitating them. SL [/QUOTE]
