I am always watching the online sheriff livestock auctions. I have bought some good deals. Maybe you can buy them back since you know they are up to date on worming and shots.

You may also want to check with Texas and Southwestern cattle raisers association. They will send a agent for your area they will be able to answer questions and point you in Correct directionLast edited by ReydonPete; 03-31-2017, 09:46 AM.

I like the advice some people give.
If it was true that you could keep them after so many days we would be cutting fences all around our 6k acres.

They do not become the property of the Sheriff after the sale the money is placed in an estray account until such time as an owner is found.
