[QUOTE="tnwalkingred, post: 1280266, member: 14434"] I've sold calves both ways and have had mixed results. I've sold calves right off their mamas that topped the sale and also held onto calves for 60 days that I lost on because I was inexperienced and they didn't gain weight. With that being said I'm in 100% agreement with BF. The industry as a whole will be better if we put a better product out for sale. Weaning is a part of this just like culling cows and choosing the right type of bulls. Many here in middle TN wean with the trailer and think they are ahead. These are also the ones that said cutting bull calves was pointless because they brought almost as much per pound and gained more weight. I was at the sale till 11 o'clock last night and I saw some of those same people who were crying because their bull calves took a hit. I just smiled and thought I better get home and check on the one whom I just castrated. Just my two cents so take it for what it's worth. The important thing for anyone to remember is to try different things and figure out what works best for you. KW [/QUOTE]
