[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1430596, member: 22072"] Don't do like a lot of people I see asking questions on FB cow groups. 1. Don't buy sale barn cows. We do not sell good cows at the sale barn, we dump the bad ones and sometimes they look really good. 2. Don't get cows until you have a place to work them. Doesn't have to be a big elaborate set of corrals, but you need something. I see so many wonder what to do when they need to pull a calf or doctor a cow. And since they are inexperienced, doing it without the safety of a pen with a chute is very very dangerous. Had a friend who works at a small animal vet get her clock rung because they helped a neighbor pull a calf from a cow they had no history of(and a simbra to boot)... They got the calf pulled in an open pen, then stood around to watch her get up. All that heifer knew was that those humans just hurt the heck out of her and yeah, she got her revenge. My friend was left with a broken leg.. 3. DO NOT START WITH BRED HEIFERS!!!!!!! I'll probably think of more...but these are the most mistakes people make who are just starting out..... [/QUOTE]
