I like your bull, Chuckie. Who's his daddy?
Buyers generally discount heifers to steers. They put on more fat and generally don't gain as fast in the feedlot.
Heavier weight calves usually bring less per pound.
Lighter boned animals tend to have less muscle than heavier boned. But much of the "heavy" and "light" is in the eye of the beholder. It's the buyer's job to pay as little as he can for a set of calves. They'll discount for anything they can get away with.
Thanks for the pics.
- Those nice black calves made me smile this rainy morning.
