get a buyer that stick you with a bunch of stale calves look out.
Especially when they tell you they're pre-conditioned and bought at a graded sale - got 3 loads of heifers sold to us with that description and ended up with 8% death loss when it turned out they had never seen a needle in their life. I've bought plenty of calves where the truth was stretched some about condition or quality, but this was the first time we were outright lied to. Easy to say we could have refused delivery, but they looked pretty good coming off the truck.
