[QUOTE="bullred, post: 146897, member: 1733"] JT, As I've said before, I think that the key to preconditioning is having a viable marketing outlet for them. Precondition calf sales, like the one at Jordan's in San Saba or Mason will bring you a good return on your extra investment. But running preconditioned claves through the local auction barn, where nobody else backgrounds their calves, will probably never get you the premium you need to justify the added expense and labor of a backgrounding.
