[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1792621, member: 39373"] Some folks buy those thin thin ones. Because the frame is already there. They fatten nicely. A lot of times ya can fatten and re-sell em for a nickel! A 500lb thin steer is MORE animal than a 500lb fat steer. Gotta have an eye for it. Those look OK but thin. Gotta be careful! Sick ones are hard to make work. Personally I'd look for a "deal" or two at the sale. Short ears, a goofy foot, no tail. They are almost always cheaper. I wouldn't give premium price. U mentioned number 1. Those ain't number 1. [/QUOTE]
