[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1617248, member: 5381"] After years of hearing how to pre-condition calves, some operators have started doing so. Now they want to get paid for it and going to the local sale barn won't get it done unless its a special sale. Many of the barns are starting to suffer. Commissions and other tacked on expenses are to high, buyers are to picky, nothing gets announced on your calves, its just run them through as fast as possible. Twenty sale barns in this area will run 10,000 head a week average selling one at a time. The two big yards in OKC will run 15000 to 20000 between them selling groups. Its easy to see why they are gaining in popularity once you visit or sale your animals at one. [/QUOTE]
