[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1827934, member: 32659"] Yes I meant Monday. These calves are weaned in November and sold in July or August. They know how to eat and and drink. Last year when I sold my rep called and ask me to start shipping on Sunday morning. He said the calves lost too much standing in the sun on the bricks for 2 days. I got in a time bind and shipped on Saturday this year again though. I was also told not to move calves from their pasture until the day we ship. I don’t have a truck load out so typically carry them to a friend's place on Wednesday before shipping. I've never weighed mine before I sent them so don't have any numbers of my own to go by. 5% shrink would be 40# on a 800# yearling so he probably wasn't too far off. [/QUOTE]
