MWJ , Ha Ha...know just what you mean! I've been telling folks that I'm gonna take mine to the sale as soon as momma's got 'em dried off and they suck a little. Shucks, I had one little calf last fall that was kind of sickly, but we nursed him back and just decided to sell him when I took some others to the sale thinking whatever we got would be better than risking him taking sick again in bad weather -- he brought $1.56 :heart: a pound! Week old calves sell nearly as good or better than fresh weaned calves. Who's buying all these little things? Shoot, I'll make a package deal on all my calves less than 3 or 4 months and let those mamas rest . It's a great time to be selling (but I'm sposed to be building a herd )mwj":39f1ywus said:Dun
I was at the sale today and watched a little black baldy bull calf that looked to be about 7-10 days old sell. He was a good calf but was so wild they could hardly keep him in the ring!! It took about 2 minutes to sell him and he went for $330 :shock: I am now thinking of early weaning my calves :cboy:
