[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 1048052, member: 637"] Here, the small framed calves don't do as well as larger framed calves do, as it is not all in the legs. When we have sold to private buyers, they wanted thinner calves because they wanted to put them on good pasture to fatten them up and make a profit when they sold them to the buyers going to the feed lots. That is throwing a lot of money away. At what age does he suggest you sell the calves? I liked the sale barn because the private buyer is not setting the price. I remember the buyer making the remark as each calf went across the scale, you are getting them too fat! He would dock them for being heavier. That was the end of selling at that barn. They were yearlings in good condition. [/QUOTE]
