[QUOTE="hillbillycwo, post: 855754, member: 13747"] At the local markets in central Kentucky the buyers look for any reason to discount the calves they buy. Color, bobbed tails, small white spots in eye, scurred anything. Good business and with today's shrinking margins I guess I can't blame them but the price different between comparable bull calves and steers just sickens me sometimes. Haven't tried buying any bull calves but I bet if I did they would just run the price up knowing I was trying to get some, cut and vaccinate them. I think I could make some money on them. I may look at buying 5 and cutting them and vaccinating for blackleg and see how it goes. [/QUOTE]
