[QUOTE="Texan, post: 283712, member: 416"] Like Beefy said, it always happens with calves in October. Eighty-five degree days and 40 degree nights equals trouble. Calves get on a truck at 95 degrees, get off the truck 20 hours later at 25 degrees equals trouble. Temperature fluctuations make buyers build in a little extra room for treatment. Some buyers will just pull their orders altogether because they don't want to wean your calves for you now. If you have to sell calves in October, you need to have them weaned and straightened out to get the most out of them. [/QUOTE]
