[QUOTE="Ojp6, post: 1235658, member: 23608"] By definition an order buyer buys on commission to fill orders and doesn't own the cattle. It sounds like the person you bought from was more likely a trader. I would also say that little Holsteins are not the easiest thing to keep alive out of the sale barn. We used to feed a couple hundred and there were all kinds of problems the few days after we got them home. I would say if they came straight from the sale barn to your house and they looked healthy at the barn there would have been no way for the buyer to tell they were going to die either. If they did look tough when you bought them they should have been given some strong antibiotics at the time you purchased them and you should have known there was a chance they weren't gonna live through it. It frustrates me when a person blames the buyer for not being able to predict whether or not the cattle are gonna live. If you think the buyers lying to you go buy the calves yourself. Picking out a healthy calf and bidding on it isn't rocket science. [/QUOTE]
