[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 729482, member: 1682"] Don't worry, I am mad at both. Just looking for similar situations. I expect this as part and parcel of buying calves in a regular calf sale, as I have done before. Protocol pre-sort sales are big thing in Canada. It is the guarantee of dehorned, castrated, (sometimes bunk-broke), live-vaccinated calves that make a protocol sale. Perhaps no one on here has run into this situation on 'protocol' calves. As a guarantee, I would assume that each of the steer calves would have been run through the chute at the yard and checked for testicles, or have a fieldman that checks the calves at the consigning farms. I am thinking that they aren't as serious about this protocol sale as some are up here. In some protocol sales, you can only join and sell if you have references to back up your management. I won't go digging on these calves. These are true belly nuts and need a sedative, scalpel and stitching up. Not going to happen in -30F in our open chute. Plus a $300 vet bill for each calf is not in the financial 'profit' cards. :cowboy: [/QUOTE]
