[QUOTE="Goodlife, post: 888461, member: 17226"] You are right that I do not have much of an eye yet. I go to the sale barn not even bringing a trailer just to improve my eye. I have sat there many times wishing I had some experience mentoring me. So I sure wish I could get a day waling around the sale barn yard with Caustic, Dun, You, Snickers or so many others on this board that have as the saying goes "forgotten more than I'll ever know." I have a neighbor that raises registered angus. I will probably purchase some feeders from him to start. I don't plan on purchasing any breeder cattle until I am comfortable that I am making the right choice. I will make mistakes that will cost money no doubt, but I plan on trying to minimize them by reading, talking on this board with you guys that are mentoring whether you are aware of it or not :clap: I am new around here and hoping I can learn a lot from the neighbor. Not familiar enough to know if he is interested or not yet. But I agree with your advice and I will not be [urchasing at the sale barn by myself for some time. I have a couple of uncles that raise a few head of cattle and want to meet at the sale barn to visit anyway. I will be taking them up on that offer although I am not sure they are "cattle curus", they have much more experience than I do. Snickers, if you are ever going to the Fruitland sale barn and want some company, let me know. I would enjoy the company and jump at the opportunity to learn a few things from you. Let me know in advance as I work and you know the sales are on Tuesdays. I'll take a vacation day. Thanks to all for your willingness to teach us rookies a thing or two. Ed [/QUOTE]
