When I go to the salebarn, I go with the intention of buying as troublefree cows as possible, which means PROFITABLE, near ZERO maintenance etc.... I will buy a broken or even smoothmouth, I'll buy a skinny cow, and even on occaision a hoofrot.
What I don't want, is YOUR PROBLEM COW. If you as a responsible cattleman, or woman, have determined that a particular cow is unfit for your operation, what makes you feel good about me buying her when you know of a problem that cannot be fixed?
Want me to lose money? then sell your slaughter cows without designating them as slaughter cows. I may buy one or more which won't make it on my ranch any better than they did yours.
Where are your ethics? "Ship her" you say...when you should slaughter. You reap what you sow...
