[QUOTE="la4angus, post: 21353, member: 132"] Hawk It appears that you are referring to Jakes previous post. He was talking about the cows that are selling at the weekly auctions. You and I both know that the auction barn is a place to get rid of the cows that a rancher or farmer wants to cull for one reason or another. The calves are a different story. Most of the calves are fresh off the ranch or farm and are healthy. If an auction is having a special sale for replacement females, whether it be bred cows , pairs, or open hfrs, it should be a good place to buy replacements. Just keep in mind that the cattle were exposed to many diseases at the barn, even though the barns are kept clean; fresh cattle can pick diseases so they should be vaccinated with an antibiotic; given fresh hay, feed and water, plus watching them closely for about 10 days for disease after bringing them home and not turning them out with the rest of your herd. After eading your post I think that you know this, but just did not mention it. Preventing a disease is cheaper than curing a disease. I will get off of my soap box now. [/QUOTE]
