[QUOTE="BC, post: 778257, member: 67"] As to why more producers don't sell a more uniform calf crop, most don't sell over 10 at a time. The vareage herd size around here is 31. For every 200 to 300 cow herd, here are 30 to 40 herds with less than 20 head. If I had the land resources and cow numbers, I would seek out ways to sell in large groups. It will make $3 to $6 per cwt. more to sell in groups (10 or more) that are same sex, weight and quality no matter what color. That is the reason that the co-mingled, preconditioned sales are gaining in popularity. [/QUOTE]
