[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 738728, member: 3162"] I buy. I miss a lot because I am looking really hard. I don't have the "eye" for cattle like some have had in my past. Generally I buy 6 or so beef splits every year for grafting onto the nurse cow. I have gone and bought a trailer load of heavy breds but that is not an annual thing. I bought a crazy fence jumping idiot once on Friday. Finally caught her, fought her across a cut gate, and then across a medina gate, with her trying to jump it, me pulling it to me when she jumped and slamming her back with the gate. She was blowing snot and wanting to stomp a hole in me the whole time. Finally loaded her and hauled her to Meridian sale a day ahead for the Tuesday sale. Told them she was an idiot and she needed to be hamburger even tho she was HB with numbers still written on her. Cautioned them to get the heck out of the way when she came out of the trailer. The laughed at that part and a few seconds later they were jumping panels to get away from her. She went per pound and I lost something like $38 on her plus my mileage and time. Bought a 7 month HB once for $360. Best money maker yet for a sale barn HB. Short and solid. She calved on 10 1/2 months intervals for 7 years before her teeth went. Raised nice calves. She was lacking ear but was a very light gray fall calver initially. She raised good calves. I've got two of her daughters running in my herd now calved out of a brangus sire. Nice udder and nice commercial cows. Sold her and she brought something in the neighborhood of $480 as a kill cow. I almost past on that cow. [/QUOTE]
