[QUOTE="BC, post: 1256131, member: 67"] I took that video with an old flip phone. Not the best audio quality. I had a different purpose for wanting the clip. I used this short video in a presentation to beef producers on how to avoid discounts. What I was trying to show was that in that 7 to 10 seconds your calf is in the ring that buyer has to determine 1) if the calf fits an order that they have,2) the sex (bull, steer or heifer), 3) estimate quality, and 4) estimate weight. That calf has to make a quick impression on the buyers. Kenny Thomas, not trying to pick an argument because I respect the advice you have given on these boards. Nobody expects a buyer to get them all within 10 lbs of each other. Most of the buyers here work on averages. It may be a regional thing, but here if an order calls for 500 lb calves, the calves will come in weighing from 460 to 540 and hopefully average 500 lbs. I think that the guys selling the cattle to customers figure a little fudge factor when quoting a delivered price. [/QUOTE]
