[QUOTE="libertygarden, post: 1762226, member: 25299"] So I took 5, 8 month calves (1 black hfr, 4 bulls- 3 black 1, sand) to the Paris, TX barn sale last Wednesday. The heifer brought 165 cwt at 485 lbs, and the bull calves brought 155.66 cwt at avg 540lbs. I was surprised at how heavy were the calves, but a little disappointed that the bull calves did not bring in at least 10 cents more. The after market report said, 500-600: 145-185. I'm thinking mine got knocked down because they weren't cut. I got more than I expected because I didn't think they were more than 450 a head. I was very please with the barn's service. The fees were $198 which included $45 for 3 days of hay feed, since I drop them on Saturday for the Wednesday auction. Great people to work with. This was my first time taking calves to the sale barn. In your opinion does not cutting bull calves discount their price? And by how much? I'm thinking I may have paid a $0.10 penalty. [/QUOTE]
