[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1807653, member: 5381"] A lot of barns have special sales for weaned animals where you have to follow their vaccination protocol. Sulphur Springs has a huge one. If you are going to do the work and want to get paid for it, find one of these even if you have to travel further. I give at least one round of vacs when the calves are young just to keep them healthier. They also get a implant at that time. Even if going to a sale barn I want my calves weaned at least a couple weeks to reduce the shrink. A set of scales will school you on how much money you are giving away taking in trailer weaned balling calves. The shrink loss is horrible for un-weaned calves that are taken in the night before.
