[QUOTE="kenny thomas, post: 871708, member: 8993"] Steve, you bring up a good point. The milk fat calves may look very different in a couple of months. But also some of the plain calves could bloom. No matter what the more consistancy there is the better off you are. And the closer to 50,000lb the better. I try to buy the better end of the plain calves up to the best calves but not the milk fat ones. I feel I am just paying for weight that I will loose on the overly fat ones. Need 54 tomorrow to finish one group going on grass until next August. They will change a lot by then. But I would like for every one of them to look exactly the same now. Not possible but I will try, No matter if a person is weaning 400lb calves or 700 lb calves the more consistant they are the easier it is to get sold at a better price. [/QUOTE]
