[QUOTE="Howdyjabo, post: 538251, member: 391"] If you know the guy and you have seen how he keeps stock I see no problem .Some cowboys on horses that I have seen- wouldn't know enough to pick out a calf thats starving let alone not gaining. I keep animals(so far just sheep and goats) to train dogs on- its easier for me to keep fresh stock that way without having to go find them and then go find a market for them when they sour.To time consuming for just a few head-and not much profit. My deal is they deliver and pickup- and I take no responsibility for them other than to give them good care. And I pay for everything (except a vet) while they are here. They LOVE it-- it gets their breeding stock away from males till they mature; frees up land ;saves them money; and they come back in good shape and very docile. I have people lined up to supply me. I could charge but then I would have to take some financial responsibility(bad stuff can happen even with good care) and they all think their animals are worth more than they really are. [/QUOTE]
