Ask a lot of questions when you looking into buying animals. There are often variations in care that can depend on ranchers preferences and regional influences. AOBA has a library of resources that you can obtain once you join. Take a look at ranch websites and see how much information is available. If there is differing information try and find out why. Often the best places to find out more are at shows and seminars being held in the different regions of the country. If you look at the regional affiliates sites, or call them, they will be able to give you more information on what events are being held.
