[QUOTE="jasonleonard, post: 1069119, member: 19910"] "Fats", are finished cattle that have been hard-fed in a feedlot...usually put in the lot at 600lb or more and sent to slaughter anywhere from 1200 up to 1500lb or so. A lot of our eastern and southeastern feeder cattle staight off the farms, are sent to big feedlots in Iowa and Nebraska. The dock you are talking about is those extremely milkfat calves, coming off the cows. Any of us that buy some to send west to feed, know that we will loose that milkfat in the first few weeks of the backgrounding stage , before they even get on the trucks to go west. [/QUOTE]
