[QUOTE="Medic24, post: 98994, member: 1101"] Well cowbell...welcome to the boards...don't let the folks throw ya off , just cause you paid waaaaaay to much for your first cow. Heck I sat in a few livestock sales and paid a few dollars to much for cattle that were already dead, and didn't know it, just still walking around...now thats not to bright either. Anyways,,, with a high dollar cow like that, I would find a way to feed it gold dust...... it deserves nothing less. Naw... Just kidding.... watch yr protein intake... or you may see a 1500 cow squirt like all get out if you get her too high on hotter grains...... and as many are already saying,,,, pasture , it's free and very good for the animal, just because it doesn't have a label with all the ingredients listed don't mean it's not good feed. Now for this cow, being high dollar, or any cow for that matter, make sure she has plenty of GOOD mineral availabe at all times. If you aren't sure about her vacination, and worming history, or have any doubts about it, do both. I can understand, thats a big investment for one animal, and you likely want it to have the best, but in this business, good is usually good enough, and won't hurt your pocketbook so bad when it's time to cash in, instead of buying high dollar items you didn't need to begin with... like 1500 dollar cows for instance.(OK, OK JK) Now as far as thinking your gonna make huge bucks on her and anything else you breed her with, keep one thing in mind......she may bring a nice calf that will bring a few extra dollars, but as far as bringing bigger bucks, as in the tens of thousands, understand that most of these cattle in this price range are actually phantoms, meaning that that kind of money usually really never trades hands,and if it does, it's only a temporary thing. These high sale prices are done to boost the marketablity of these animals, meaning that they can offer you the semen or eggs of this animal that brought say $45,000 at the sale..........and you'll think you got the best semen in the world now cus the bull 'cost' some one 45 grand...don't buy it. But in any case........ good luck in your endevour! :cboy: [/QUOTE]
