[QUOTE="Howdyjabo, post: 369981, member: 391"] Stay sceptical-- but go look at them and the cows. Odds are I'd buy them. Lots of farmers sell calves at 300lb. So that doesn't bother me. Under pricing them does unless he just doesn't care to keep up with the market (and hasn't for the last 4 years). Make sure you have a good high energy/protien feed for them for awhile. And that you have some antibiotics on hand just in case. Not being vaccinated wouldn't bother me-- I think either way you have the same risk to your cows just by bringing in something new- try to keep them isolated for 4-6 wks just in case. [/QUOTE]
