[QUOTE="gcreekrch, post: 1850855, member: 14161"] I know full well what cattle will shrink from here. We have started sending sale yearlings and cull cows 3 days previous to sale time. The gain back in shrink from the truck ride is recovered by roughly 75% and more than pays the feed bill. Calves from here are best weighed off truck asap and forward contracted. I’ve had 700 lb yearlings shrink 100 lbs on the haul and overnight before the sale. Too many variables to send the day of sale. [/QUOTE]
