[QUOTE="Lee VanRoss, post: 1769958, member: 40072"] [B]TR> I [/B]would guess them to be spring 2020 calves, most likely implanted and destined for the packer from birth. Normally implanting would preclude them from being breeding stock. They would have been consuming a little over 40 lbs of feed a day each assuming a 3% ration. My relationship with the auction may be different from yours as I know grandad sent stock there over 60 years ago. They are into the 2nd and 3rd generation. I do not recall ever having an animal at the auction and not being there to represent it if needed. As far as I know we have done that since 1800's. Until the hammer drops that animal is yours and and represents what you are producing and is a symbol of your reputation as a producer. Now I don't haul anymore but a friend and neighbor does that for me and is on cattle feeder board. You're right anyone can haul a critter to the sale barn but it may not turn out well if that animal is not yours! No I do not perceive Red or Black as having an advantage at this stage. Quality sells, at least it did the other day. I run Red Angus on the top side and have been for the past 20 years but I like quality of any color. I don't know to what extent you are involved with the engineering or your time constraints but if you have time to get acquainted with the auctioneers it can be time well invested. Now I will share something personal, I would much rather pick guitar than push cattle up a chute or tag newborns. I rate them about equal at the end of the day. [B]LVR[/B] [/QUOTE]
