[QUOTE="daniel.carver, post: 693129, member: 6685"] Jerry, No I did not contact the sale barn, pretty much thought it was a buyer beware/as is thing. But Thanks for the advice. I dosen't hurt to ask. I've learned a lot from you all here on C.T. But still have a ways to go. I've always thought if you stop learning, your proabably dead. I'm trying to build a little herd, got a ways to go.
