[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1813304, member: 498"] It has been said the 2 fastest ways to go broke are. Forgetting what Grandpa learned. And doing things the way Grandpa did. I figured that hauling a few at a time to the local sale barn is probably another way to go broke. Back nearly 20 years ago when I first got on CT Dun was talking about how people he was involved with put together a group. They brought their calves together at a specific location. They all used the same agreed on vaccination program. Calves were weaned, sorted into load lot groups and sold directly to feedlots. I have a son in law who use to rep for Superior. Again a group of smaller ranches sold their calves together on the video. The calves needed to be similar size and breeding with the same vaccination program. They were weighed in the trailer at a grain elevator. Unloaded in a pen and the empty trailer weighed to get the calf weight. He would end up writing 6 or 8 checks for each semi load of calves. Both of they methods would take neighbors cooperating. But both are proven and would make the smaller operators more money than trucking them to the local sale yard. [/QUOTE]
