[QUOTE="AudieWyoming, post: 737067, member: 13669"] The audacity that people would sell young breeding bulls that already needed their feet trimmed is mind boggling to me but I have at least 2 similar stories. One year at a state association sale of mainly yearling bulls, for a breed that shall remain anonymous, a well known breeder who held their own sale every year consigned a 2 year old. While we were out looking at the bulls before the sale I over heard the breeder talking to a buyer who obviously knew the bull. The buyer commented “I see you corrected his feet” I looked to see an obvious hatchet job on both front feet. Amazingly the guy bought him as one of the high sellers! I stopped by to see a close friend who had just replaced his whole bull battery with 5 yearling bulls at an out of state breeder’s sale the weekend before. They had all 5 in the chute trying to fix the banana boat feet. He was so embarrassed; “It was a cold sale day and all the pens were standing in beautiful yellow straw up to their belly’s. I just didn’t think about looking at their feet.” @ [/QUOTE]
