[QUOTE="J Baxter, post: 40429, member: 374"] My worst mistake has to be buying some 3 period heifers at the local sale. Good looking heifers, but a little on the small side. They were supposed to be bred to angus bulls; instead they were bred to a block head charlais. I had one of them go down with calving paralysis and had to cut the pelvic bone on the other to get the calve out (in pieces). I'll stick to buying three to six year old animals or unbred heifers now (if prices ever come down- I'm not giving 1300-1500 for pairs). I'll retain a few heifers out of my best stock for now and sell everything else til the market comes down and it will. JB [/QUOTE]
