[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 324598, member: 1258"] I guess I should have explained better, I can understand the confusion. At our sale barn regular calf sales sell on Fridays. Then there are select calf sales on other days we go with the commercial breeders in our area and the idea is that these are the calves that would do well in feedlots or as replacement heifers. The heifers have to be something you would want in your herd and the steers something that will do well in the feedlot - too young, too sickly, limping, free-maritns etc. are not supposed to be in the sale. The broken leg was vet checked before going. It's actually worked out well for us. We sell a lot of replacement heifers and get the same buyers for feedlots every year since they know the day we are selling on. The only problem is if the market dips you are still supposed to honour the commitment so the sale remains strong. Overall though, it has brought us more money even with the dips. [/QUOTE]
