[QUOTE="stocky, post: 635962, member: 1150"] Really sorry to hear they did not do as you had hoped. The market is about 20-30 dollars per hundred better on most calves now than it was in December, but it sure doesnt sound like it was better for your calves. I can only echo what others say. I never sell an animal I am not prepared to bring back home. I have bought back as many as 80 out of 120 before, but it is seldom that I ever buy one back. I sold 95 calves the first week of January and bought none back, but I did buy 3 springer cows back a couple of weeks ago when I sold 105 cows and 3 tested broken mouth and didnt bring enough. I took them home and will freshen them out and split them and the calf in January with the cow going to slaughter and the calf for feeder. If you can not stay and see the animal sell and either no sale it or bid until it brings what you want, then write on the check in slip the minimum that you will take for the calf. If it doesnt bring the minimum, they will no-sale it and you take it back home and only pay the 2 or 3 dollars no sale charge or the vet fee if it is a cow that was preg-checked. If you bid and buy it back, you still just pay the no sale fee. You just tell them in the office. Best of luck [/QUOTE]
