[QUOTE="tom4018, post: 71815, member: 55"] Been sitting back and reading this with interest. One figure that I have in front of me state that 80% of cattle come from herds of less than 50 head. Our Farm Bureau president told me the average herd size in Kentucky was about 40 head a couple years ago. And as far as this comment goes.............. "Didn't say they had no effect on the market, but a run of 5-8 calves isn't going to sell as well, or have as much impact as a run of 100 calves" A small guy that has good calves will sell just as well as everyone else in his area if the calves sell in the graded pens. We have always had our calves sell graded and I know we have done better than some of our neighbors with our animals getting in the graded pens. Just thought I would throw in my thoughts because I know there are more of us small guys out here than the big ones. [/QUOTE]
