[QUOTE="NC Liz, post: 1073362, member: 20396"] Till-Hill’ What you are stating about 5-6 weights is perfectly plausible, but what you are describing are 5-6 weights preconditioned calves ( as defined below ) vs. un-preconditioned calves. I have no problem with anyone preconditioning their animals. As a matter of fact I recommend preconditioning, as long as all below conditions are meet, to maximize profit. But please note, you are now talking about 5-6 weights, not a new born. But even if you do all of the below, except the last one, most all buyers will not take your word for it and will do vaccination and worming all over again. I have seen thousands of feeders go through the ring claiming they were vaccinated and wormed only to have the buyer say “sent them to the vet pen for the works“ after buying. Fact is: Unless the auctioneer waves the Health and Certification Form in the air when he says they are vaccinated and wormed, what he says means nothing to the buyer and the buyer will bid as if it was never said and he will vaccinate and worm them. liz [/QUOTE]
