I am interested, an it seems as others may be as well. I do appreciate that. I have read that one is needed in case you have to have a vet visit your property. I've heard that the vets really appreciate that and some even require it.

Is this something that can be done in pasture or do you have to have it done?

Thank You. Heck, I will buy the ugliest cow out there ifin I can get a price break.

By "they", do you mean the seller doesn't like it, or the buyer doesn't like it or the cow doesn't like it? Are you saying the white ring is worth more or less? By the way, thanks to all of you for the information.

Thank You for the information about the bull/steer issue. I didnt know that. I wonder why hair (hide?) color would make a difference in buying the steers? I cant wait till March gets here and I can start with them.

I know this is an old post but I think this person was curious about how to tell what they weigh while the cow is still at this persons house? I could be wrong, but I am curious about how that works myself. Does one have to buy a cattle scale or something? Yes, I am reading all of the old post.

Yep, I have been a member of the backyardchicken forum for a while now. I am just curious about how sex-linking works in general. Thank all of yall for the answers.

Could you talk more about the "sex-link" thing? I bought "sex-link" chickens and they are great but I just dont understand about what that is really all about? Thanks in advance? Sorry for the hijack

I am never going to have more than two cows at once. My idea, is to raise one for the freezer, and one for the market. I am new to this so I dont know how things go. One thing that I have noticed is that if you want a certain "pure" breed you are going to pay through the nose. I have been...

Hi, I am new here and dont have any cows yet. We will have some in March. I am in the process of clearing the fence line of our back three acres so that we can raise 2 steers. We bought 114 used 8ft t-post the other day. I found this site from the backyardchickens.com site. I do have 20 eight...
