[QUOTE="californiacattle, post: 1790245, member: 42765"] Hi y'all! I hope I'm posting this to the right board— We have plans to slowly start incorporating stockers to our operation. We are currently and have always been a commercial cow calf op, but for the last few years we have been considering moving forward with stockers. We have decided to now pull the trigger for a great number of reasons— One of them being a huge wreck we got into last year that severely impacted our herd size. This bad storm in turn had one positive outcome, our pastures were able to recover greatly. Especially with all of this rain we have been getting in California. So now that we are more confident in our forage than we have been in the last few years, we want to add some stockers. Does anyone have any advice they would like to share when it comes to adding stockers? I greatly appreciate any and all—I believe there is something to be learned from everyone! More specifically- if you also have any advice you could share when it comes to buying from auction (what you look for, avoid, etc.) I would definitely appreciate it! I like to frontload myself with as much information as possible. Thank you very much! [/QUOTE]
