Hi All, new here with a question...

Here is a very good example of what can happen when you buy a heifer you have doubts about.
I broke two golden rules with this one after we moved to BC. IF IN DOUBT DON"T BUY and NEVER PURCHASE JUST BASED ON A BREEDERS REP without seeing the parent stock.

OUCH! Should have locked her in a barn or shed for a few days first! Poor girl wanted her baby.

Barn wouldn't have done it at all. She took out my gates and the ranch down the hill lost a goodly part of a corral that normally houses a bull.

She put my buck goat through a rail fence, killed over 40 chickens, has charged many people, injured my jerseys and the list goes on from there.

Dead meat!

I will let you know shortly. That cow is so mean that the meat is likely to be tough as leather.
