[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1807678, member: 24027"] I have a different situation because the same buyer buys all my calves, but still through the sale barn. I provide the sale barn a spreadsheet with all the info on the calves, including birth dates, vaccinations, how long weaned (45 - 60 days), heifers guaranteed open, etc. Same info is provided to the buyer prior to the sale. Sale barn markets them as early consignments; a little competition from other potential buyers never hurts! And I'm sitting there, right in front, during the entire sale. Auctioneer announces my calves, including our ranch, and reads off their history. It helps to have a uniform group of calves. I would suggest spending time at the sale, getting to know the owners/operators, and pay attention to the buyers as well as the other calves that are being sold. What makes them different from yours?
