How bad will he get docked?

Ouch, they knock 1/2 price off on that calf. Flawed calves doesn't bring much money even if they are healthy.

He wasn't the best looking calf even without the hernia but he was doing ok. He's had this hernia for a couple of months and was growing and putting on weight. I wasn't expecting top dollar for him by no means but thought I'd get 800 to a 1000 dollars for him. Oh well, he brought more than a dead one brings. I didn't lose any calves this year so I'll take this.

:nod: That's the best way to look at it.

Most of us have been there at least once, I know I have.
