I stated in an earlier thread that I had never had an auction yardman ask me if my calves were backgrounded. Well, it happened. They asked if they were backgrounded, (no), asked if they had implants, (no), asked if they had shots this fall, (no, we vac at branding time and that's all). However, none of this was mentioned when they went through the ring, so I'm still not sure why they were asking. Anyway, calves were heavy, healthy, and sold well. Had some extra good moisture this year and the calves showed it. Well,...back to the fence line.
