[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 27357"] This is ridiculous. Buying cattle from an individual will cost you an arm and a leg. (every farmer thinks his cattle are worth top dollar) I've looked into that option a dozen times. Salebarn cows are preg checked and lots cheaper. I buy BM cows and Old cows that are energetic when they come through the ring. I let them raise a calf to weaning weight and sell them both.(My cows usually sell at a heavier wieght because of how well I feed them.)This also leads to a higher price/lb from the slaughter buyers than what I paid/lb for thin cows. In the last 6 years I have done this with over 100 cows, and have yet to do worse than a break even animal. lunker [/QUOTE]
