[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 398823, member: 694"] I do buy from the salebarn as it is not an evil place. I attend sales regularly and know most of the regulars. I usually get there early and stand over the loading chute. Not uncomon to holler down hey Joe why are you selling that good looking heavy and get a reply back dang kid wrecked his car or something went wrong and I need some cash. There are some I don't know and it gets back to your eye for cattle. I have been burned at the barn but overall I have been very sucessful with my picks. I also attend production sales like in Crockett or Navasota at the salebarn. As far as creep there is none and no feed for the bull this is a grass operation. I do fertilize my pastures, my pastures are feed, you have to put back can't just take. The trick is picking the right breeds for your enviroment that maximize the hybred vigor on your grass. Yes I spend a lot of time at the salebarn. This is a wealth of info on prices what the buyers are looking forin your area I view the knowledge from the sale barn as priceless. You can look at the older cow at the barn see how she travels, look at the calf and udder and tell if she is a heavy milker high maintainece cow as well as the growth of the calf. What you can't tell is that she doesn't drop a calf but every 15 months. [/QUOTE]
