I'm still wet behind the ears on many aspects, so don't be too hard on me here - BUT, it seems to me like selling calves is leaving money on the table. "Value added" has been tossed around until everybody is sick of it, but isn't it true?? You also see people post that they don't get any premium on their calves for properly weaning them instead of on the trailer, and that isn't right, either. If you can hang onto the calves and grow them some more without excessive cost, can you capture more of the dollars tacked on between the producer and the dinner plate??
