[QUOTE="dyates, post: 518423, member: 7137"] Had a cousin who bought three late term heifers at the salebarn (against my advise). "They were too cheap to pass up!" he said. Week later, my phone rings with a request to assist him with pulling a calf. After some examination, we determined that the calf was turned every which way. One foot was back and the head was turned back. He called the vet to cut it out, couldn't get it all out. 44 slug to the head. This process repeated twice more. Those heifers that were too cheap to pass up ended up costing him $2100 and three 44 shells with absolutely nothing to show. Just another reminder to make sure you know what you are buying and don't buy late term bred cattle that have been hassled around and handled rough. [/QUOTE]
