[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1224873, member: 18809"] I have had several that I really liked, that acted fine when sifting through the pens, but when they went into the sale ring they whacked out, so I sat on my hands...Most of the time those sell pretty cheap, and I wonder if those buyers were the smart ones because they get a great female, that only goes south in the ring? I also bought one bred heifer once, that was fine when I sorted her in the pen, and fine in the sale ring (a little nervous, but not enough to get overly concerned with), and when I unloaded her off my trailer she acted like she had never seen a human in her life. I hoped she would settle down when we had her in our pastures, and she did a little, but she was always the first to run to the other end. I often wondered if she wasn't doped when I bought her, because her personality sure changed. She left this fall, when she had a dead calf and I was tired of dealing with her. I lost money on her, with two dead out of three calves. I should have sat on my hands that time too! [/QUOTE]
