[QUOTE="Sir Loin, post: 430871, member: 5601"] Van, Re: Well first when you see 2 steers with one nut each that’s your first clue. Second when they look like a drunk who has sleep in his close all night, that’s another clue. Calves that have been bunker feed and de-wormed for 45 days should at least look a little slick and shiny, not dull and frumpy. And they should have ear tags in them that look fairly new, not old small birth tags. And they should not be coughing. Then there is their poop. It should not be runny and smeared all over their butt. It should be firm and you should be able to see signs of grain in it. And that is just what I could see by only seeing the 3 or 4 at the ends of the pens. This barn in set up very well for working cattle but it is not set up for buyers to inspect the cattle. The pens are about 15 feet wide and 100 feet long and the only way to inspect the cattle is to walk along the ends of the pens outside the building. Yet the sign over the arena say: “ BUYERS LOOK @ THE CATTLE” “what you buy is what you get”. Now if you can’t see them in the pens and they only run 6 – 10 out of 70 into the arena, how the he11 do you know what you’re buying? As a former buyer I can tell you if anyone had real pre-conditioned cattle there they got docked because of the condition of the rest.
