[QUOTE="ksmit454, post: 1756683, member: 39792"] Thank you everyone for the tips and input. The only reason I was hesitant to buy from my neighbor with the bull calves, is that I have only ever banded my own calves at a day old. Didn’t have to worry about tetanus and they are easy to catch. I do have a squeeze chute, but I would have to have a vet come out and do the casterating for me. My thought - go to the feeder sale, see what prices are like and see if I’m ok with those prices. If not, I can take some more time to consider buying from my neighbor. I used to work at our local feed store (for 9 years) and I told the girls that are there to ask the local ranchers that come in for me. [/QUOTE]
