[QUOTE="BK9954, post: 1419298, member: 23651"] Yep, open cows with no calves at their side make me nervous, beef price is all they are worth. A heifer with first calf makes me a little uncomfortable at too high of a price. Always the chance they wont breed back. Anything unregistered I dont like paying too much over beef price anymore. When I first got started in cattle I made the mistake of buying cattle way over beef price, then when culling the crud out I lost my tail big time. That is not going to happen again. Actually I am at the auction today. Cant find what I want private treaty for the price I want. I have been hitting the sales for the last 3 weeks. The way I see it if I have a cull I wont lose over $500 a head after middle men mark up and feed. After a few years I feel comfortable enough to buy at the auctions, starting out I didnt. That cost me $1000's [/QUOTE]
