[QUOTE="Dave, post: 98661, member: 498"] A person should never go to a sale with their mind made up that they are going to buy cows that day. I watch people do this all the time. You rarely see these individuals but the days they are at the sale they will buy every bred cow or pair that comes through. They end up paying more than the cows are worth and they get some cows that I wouldn't take home. One reason they do this is they live some distance from the sale so it is a trip to get there. They figure they need to make it worth their trip so they buy the cows no matter what. I only live about 10 miles from the sale yard and it is a Saturday sale. It is easy for me to go there on a Saturday afternoon. I check out the cows out back before the sale. Then I sit around and swap stories with friends until the bred cows sell. If they are priced right I buy cows. If they are too high or there aren't any ones that will fit my program I wander on home. Doing this I get a little break from the chores and I get to BS with the other cattlemen from the area. There are good cows and bad cows at the sale. But if you go planning on getting some bought today because today is the day you are going to buy cows. Your odds of getting a bad cow increase significantly. Dave [/QUOTE]
