[QUOTE="bpwagner115, post: 962784, member: 16508"] We sold a load of fat cattle and they loaded out Wednesday. Sold them direct to a packer in Kansas (12 hour haul from where we are in South Dakota) at$1.25/lb. We and the packer agreed to weigh at a registered station about 10 miles from our farm and take 3% shrink. Fine. 40 head averaged 1450 pounds a piece. Get a phone call yesterday from our broker saying they are PISSED. Cattle shrunk 6% (ALMOST 90 pounds!?) so they want us to take another 1.5% to help cover their losses. Broker wants us too pay them also so they don't totally abondon him as a buyer. Has anyone ever heard of that kind of shrink? [/QUOTE]
