When taking calves to auction do you try to have them in good flesh and avoid as much shrink as possible...or have them in good condition but not carrying as much flesh when they hit the sale ring? I guess I like to sell pounds. Rob2

Run across this bull that I really like the looks of. the following info was posted with the photo: UPS Sensation 2504, 2014 supreme champion at Nebraska State Fair. We are currently using him intensively in our AI program. Owned with Valley Creek Ranch and Ernst Herefords Enjoy, rob2
