[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1430649, member: 22072"] #4 Get a trailer first...That's another complaint/excuse I see on FB cow groups, "We don't have a trailer." Just a note, we would never ever sell a good cow at a sale barn probably because we'd never let ourselves get in the position of needing to. Good money making cows, we'd sell privately If we ever needed to sell a good cow. Still a little scary selling to someone who's just starting out though. I've seen people in those FB cow groups publically trash the person they brought from because the calf the cow was carrying died at birth. I've seen people say they got taken advantage of.. :???: Or this one person who bought a group of heifers and out of the 10 got only 2 live calves. Which goes back to #3, don't start out with heifers. I had a friend that did that, her husband bought like 20 bred heifers. She was telling me how excited she was and could hardly wait for the calves to start popping out. I asked if she knew what they were bred to and she said Simmental... :shock: This was in the early 90s... Saw her a year later and she said they lost most of them, heifers and calves. [/QUOTE]
