[QUOTE="rcstokes, post: 692848, member: 13194"] I haven't been at it very long, but I have bought pairs at the sale barn and off of individuals. As forum members on here know I have bought less than the best of pairs. I know that these boards have been by far the best place to go for [b]knowledge[/b]. I sold my first set of calves last weekend and got 114.00 per for the steers. They were not junk. They stated at the sale barn where and who they came from with all shots up to date. Nice stock can be bought at sale barns. Like posters say it is up to us as buyers to have knowledge. When I buy I always just tell them to work them. To date it has not cost me more than $27 dollars to have them vet worked right there. That would be all shots and cast if need on bulls. I know who the vet is that does the work. It is our [b]responsibility [/b]to take the initiative to become informed on issues that pertain to buying cattle at the sale barn. Most people sale at their local sale barns. Like others say, when you buy them you keep them in your corral for a week or so. Give them some extra grain and baby them for a while. They have just come out of a lot of stress. You can tell I’m a hobby farmer!! By the way I just brought home another one of those junk black baldy trader cow/calf pairs this last weekend and they are doing well. Cost me $24 dollars to get them worked. I’m just saying that nice cattle can come from a sale barn. It’s up to us to make sure that’s what we are buying. Odds are still better with cattle than lottery tickets. :banana: [/QUOTE]
