First thing I thought of was, “There’s a Gary Larson cartoon in this.”
I don’t know what they were used for, but were I in the market for one I’d check it over pretty thoroughly. Used cow dealers are a shady lot, and it’s not uncommon for them to roll back the uddometers to make you believe they’ve got low milkage.
Yes, its better to buy a slightly used cow. You still get the new cow smell, but some other sucker takes the big hit in depreciation for driving her off the lot.
My husband maintains a fleet of used cars operating under some systems principle: Redundant Array of Inexpensive Discs. We call ours a RAIV(ehicles). I’m thinking we may be able to save some money by implementing a RAIL(ivestock)
That’s a pretty common slogan for the trucks that haul off dead cows, “Your Friendly Used Cow Dealer”. Doesn’t appear to be what they are selling in the OP, just be careful about buying one off a truck
