I'd stay away from buying out of a salebarn, everything will come home with the scours (shitting everywhere). There is literally decades worth of shite and bacteria piled up in salebarns.

If you can buy some off a farm you'll get a lot healthier cattle.

For a small farm of 15 acres, you'll never make money with a cow/calf operation. You need to go buy 10 weanling(6 month old) steers from somebody and grow them for a year. Sell, repeat.

If you want the joy of cow calf operation and don't care about making money get something cool. I raise and sell registered Texas Longhorns. Legit to look at and fool with, but they won't bring what a black cow will money wise when it is time to sell.
