Thanks for the heads up.  My only qualms about buying at an auction, particularly  one in SD is that there is no effort to control hoof rot down there, and I'm not about to drag it home again.  I bought at Aberdeen back in 1998 and wound up with hoof rot, and it took a year to get it cleaned up.  ND will quarentine the farm if they find it and it's almost a non existent up here.
