[QUOTE="dun, post: 961780, member: 34"] We used to belong to a marketing group that would comingle a couple of hundred head more multiple producers. They would all be back grounded toghter then sorted into pot load groups based on type/quality/weight. It worked pretty good for a number of years until more of the producers wanted to start retaining ownership. We would get a half dozen bids from various feedlots for each load but there would always be a few bids with us retaining varying percentages of ownership. It was a majority rules deal. Some years we did better with the retained ownership and some years we did worse. I found that selling them even in smaller lots or even singles once we got as reputation for our calves that we did a lot better going it on our own. Also didn;t end up having to pay the backgrounder for his labor so that was a savings. [/QUOTE]
