[QUOTE="Lee VanRoss, post: 1754665, member: 40072"] I never saw what you have for facilities at the land in question. You might produce more pounds per acre with preconditioned calves than with 3-4 year old cows which are going to take back pocket money to buy. A dead calf has a terrible rate of gain and the weaning weight is even worse. To the extent time and resources permit pick the sale barn you intend to market your stock and spend some time at the sales. Sit down where you are close to the cattle and try to develop an eye for weight and price. With practice your skills will improve and when the time comes you will have the ability to bid with confidence. Set your price and never chase a bid. You will be ok. Work with what you know and apply that knowledge to any advice with a grain of salt, including mine. good luck! [/QUOTE]
