[QUOTE="James T, post: 886154, member: 17369"] I agree MSG! When buying mixed cattle, why pay a salebarn charge when you can do a little extra work by buying direct and save some money! The original poster did not specify whether they were into buying registered breeds or commercial or mixed. I have yet to witness registered breeds being sold at a general auction (that is, sold as registered). With the droughts we have suffered, I'm sure many registered cattle have been run through a general auction but they were not advertised as such. I only mention this because it's [u]generally[/u] the registered cattle that have a documented history of health and production. Although I have purchased some commercial cattle that had the documentation too. Like you said, a buyer is typically not going to get such records at a general auction. Then there are the auctions that are held for a specific breed by a breeder or several breeders. You can always get records from these folks. I have no problem paying more when documentation is available as it allows me to make a wiser choice that can save money in the long run. [/QUOTE]
