[QUOTE="KAstocker, post: 1807784, member: 40060"] The calves look okay but I would call them plain. Plain calves sell hit and miss. Some sales are 10-20 behind good calves. Others can be much more. There just aren't always many buyers at that sale for them. Also stuff like weaned and shots can sometimes not matter if there aren't many buyers to bid. If it says weaned and the calves are plain and just a handful of them, I assume they are short weaned and don't bid much. I like to hear weaned for so many days. Short weaned calves deserve a steep discount. Also condition can greatly affect the top couple groups of calves. They may be 20-30 cents higher than the rest just because they are ready to put on some easy pounds. With that said, that's 30-50 cents difference at a good sale for plain calves. Other sales are more. [/QUOTE]
