[QUOTE="TheBullLady, post: 560430, member: 173"] Cormac.. I am also very sorry for your loss.. how incredibly frustrating, especially since you made the decision to send your best. I agree.. I don't think anyone can/will take care of my cattle as well as I will myself. Having said that, I am also concerned that no one suggested they be preconditioned. We consigned to TX A & M's "Ranch to Rail" program for a few years when it first started, and we were given an list of requirements for anything that was consigned.. including being on feed. In fact, they even required the producer to state what kind / type / frequency of feed the animals were receiving. We never lost any there, although I do know of people that did lose some to sickness, which of course is more likely when you comingle calves with other ranches that perhaps don't have the same health requirements as you do! Sorry for your loss. Those programs are generally very good ones, and very good knowledge for a producer to have on his cattle. [/QUOTE]
