[QUOTE="UG, post: 1301380, member: 714"] Over the years I have been very frustrated at how poorly an individual will sell at a sale barn; even a moderate fleshing, thick made black steer with two rounds of shots will get discounted significantly. And, "off-color" calves like reds, smokes, etc. will really get pounded if there are only one, two or three in a group. A few years ago I sold a really nice, single red steer, with 2 rounds of shots, and I believe he sold at a $20/cwt discount to larger lots of black calves that day....$120 discount! At times I have wondered if I would be better off being the buyer of these heavily discounted calves. Take them home and put groups together of similar size and color and then resell them a month later in groups of 15 or more. This may be a good side gig when I retire. :D [/QUOTE]
