[QUOTE="djinwa, post: 1093545, member: 8265"] I like this. There's plenty of stress in calves heading to feedlots even without facing castration. Which stress lowers immunity and is a major factor in pneumonia, etc, which requires antibiotics, which leads to resistance, and an image problem for consumers. What I don't get is why any buyer would pay the same for a bull calf that they have to put through this stress and weight loss, and possible complications or illness. Are there any buyers on here? Too bad we don't have more buyers explaining why they pay what they do. [/QUOTE]
