[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 16003"] Ditto on sympathy for your lost cow. Tough break to handle. Yes, a "knowledgeable" cattle person along with an "honest" Vet can usually select a "good" or better animal at a sale barn. Otherwise, it is "Caveat Emptor" (buyer beware). My personal method for purchasing new stock is to if all humanly possible to visit their facility and see the quality of their infrastructure (no trash in stock areas, clean facility, fences in good repair, stock looks happy and healthy).
