[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1827931, member: 5381"] I'm sure you meant that they sell on Monday. Are your friends calves long weaned or fresh off the mama? My trip time to OKC is twice that but I ship very early on Sunday morning for Mondays sale. My long weaned calves will average 3% shrink. I have had a few loads with zero shrink and a few with 5%. The calves need to know how to eat and drink from a trough to get the lower shrink. There is not really that much shrink at OKC compared to sale barns because they are not commingled and each pen has feed and fresh water. They sort mine on Sunday not long after they arrive and feed them shortly thereafter. I think shipping on Sunday morning is best as I don't think they get fed properly on Saturday. It also helps if they sale early on Monday. I'm sure Ferappease would help if they are bawlers. [/QUOTE]
