[QUOTE="gcreekrch, post: 1557152, member: 14161"] Sometimes a simple thank you and asking for follow up info goes a long way. I have thanked every purchaser of every animal for 40 years. If I know where they ended up, I phone the feedlot owner or manager and thank them. Contrary to belief, some of them are human too!!! I was told once by a couple of buyers that if a group of calves is presented right, proper castration, proper dehorning, legible brands, not lousy, thrifty doing, uniform.... It is generally assumed that the genetics and vaccination programs are likely better than average also. My son runs his 35 cow herd very similar to ours, is on his own and sells his calves separately from ours. His steers and heifers both sold in two groups this fall. They were all sired by one bull mind you but his cows are a bit multi cultural also. I think they calved last spring in 29 days. Can't get much more uniform than that on a small operation. [/QUOTE]
