There is a mom/friend in our 4-H club who decided to go into the cattle business with her boyfriend. She asked me some questions about cattle and admitted that they don't know anything about cattle. She showed me a photo of one of their new calves. It was a little red thing that looked like poop. They bought bred cows off of Craigslist because....
get ready for this.... "They were cheaper than going to a sale. The people bid the cows up so high at the auctions."
They are still watching Craigslist for more cows.
I didn't have the heart to tell her that most of the Craigslist cattle are priced higher than what they would bring at the sale barn. What a way to get into the cattle business.
