[QUOTE="Tim/South, post: 1186023, member: 17986"] It depends on who is buying the calves. A stocker who plans on selling to a northern feed lot will not have his buyers take much ear. Cattle grazed and finished in the southern plains can have a little more ear. A lot of ear does not gain as well in cold weather, whether grazing winter wheat or on feed. Also, too much Brahman and it takes longer to finish. Some will be green until 1500 lb. I have seen a 30 cent discount on calves that were half ear. If the ears are sitting higher up on the head they seems to bring more even if they are a little long. These tend to have less sheath and dewlap. [/QUOTE]
