[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 410188, member: 6198"] Bez and Victoria are right. up here we don't see a premium for preconditioned calves, and we have few options for trucking. Canada is different than the US in the way calves are marketed. We have a few small local feed lots in our area but the guys buys small stuff, males and such, stuff others don't want so they can buy cheap. Now some of them are starting the custom feeding so the big guys buy and bring in to their feed lots. Our sale barn sells one day a week because the buyers work a circut and do 6 diferent sales a week. So a feed lot of 700 1000 fills pretty fast when when the animals come from other auction marts as well as your own local. we are limited to what we can do especially if you have less that a full truck load. Bez, what about Alberta? AND NO SLAUGHTER EXCEPT SMALL GUYS WHO DO CULLS [/QUOTE]
