[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1823132, member: 6291"] I think regions play a big role. From hearing yall talk yalls auctions are a lot more buyer friendly, like putting the age of the cows on them. Also, people in other areas seem to breed closer to the same times and more simular cattle and vac protocols. That makes a lot of difference to be able to run down and pick up cattle that are a lot more simular to yours. It's not like that here. It's a fre for all. Most are not synced up, there are huge variations in breeding, temperaments, etc. It's a real chit show at the AB. I have a friend who buys hundreds of AB cows. He literally has a feed lot set up to process them. There will be 18 wheelers lined up dropping off cattle when he is stocking, but every couple of them takes a load back. They never leave the pens. He is very candid about it. He raises X amount of replacements every year for natural attrition. If he has a lot of extra grass or if he needs to stock a place he buys AB because he needs them now and there is no way to plan for that amount of volume in that short of time. He cuts the buyers loose and they get him cattle. [/QUOTE]
