[QUOTE="SF, post: 98423, member: 1171"] Buying cattle at a sale barn is sort of like buying a car at a used car lot. "Buyer Beware". Fortunately there are quite a few people who do buy at sale barns, therefore some of you have someone to purchase your problem cows. Private treaty sales do not always work out well either. Last year I bought five registered bred cows from a breeder in Arkansas. 2- 7 year old, 2- 6 year old, and 1- 4 year old. They were all in great condition when I bought them. All calved and raised good calves. As it turns out though, one is not an easy keeper, she always looks underfed and malnutrioned. One died this past spring from eating a plastic bag. The other three are doing well. Even though there have been some problems, I will most definitely buy from him again. I know that there are many risks when buying cattle. The cow dying is not his fault. The one which turns out to not be an easy keeper......well that's just the way it goes. If you sell enough cattle, sooner or later you will have an unhappy customer. Someone will feel you screwed them. That is just the way it goes in all business's. You will not be able to please everyone. [/QUOTE]
