[QUOTE="BC, post: 777564, member: 67"] I live in Northeast Texas and the vast majority of our calves sell one at a time. There are a couple of sales that have graded and sorted feeder calf sales for preconditioned calves (Sulphur Springs, Van Zandt, Paris and Winnsboro). I know that Van Zandt Livestock will sort cattle in groups if you bring them in the day before. I have been in nearly all of the sale barns east of I-35 and north of I-10 and they just don't have the facilities to pen each sellers' calves seperately. They will jack pot them in pens of 75 up to 300 or more. For as many cattle as we have in this area (the USDA estimates there are 58,000 beef cows in this county), the average herd size is 31 head. It is hard to put uniform groups together with so few numbers. [/QUOTE]
