[QUOTE="franseen, post: 84621, member: 1443"] One reason you may want to go to a farm sale. Lets say you buy a good registered cow. She is bred to a good registered bull. You can look at both the cow's and the future calves sire's epds and performance. If you get a good bull calf out of this cow you have a possible future herd sire. He will be backed by a pedigree and performance numbers for generations back. A sale barn cow probably won't have this information. Just a thought. Good luck with whatever your choice is. [/QUOTE]
