[QUOTE="somn, post: 267773, member: 3721"] All the cattle run thru my feedlot are vaccinated the same fed the same implanted the same way. Whenever there is a set of cattle that graded poorly there is always 1 common thread between the poor graders. I bought them skinny. I've never purchased a fleshy set of cattle that graded poorly. That is another thing I will never understand. Why do you cow calf guys let me make the easy money off of you? Why do you sell those calves half starved? You people work so very hard all year long caring for the cows, up at night during calving season. Then you provide good care for the calves only to sell me those calves light so I make the money off the cheap gain. It makes no sense to me. 100 years ago I could maybe see doing it that way when cattle where bought by the head. It has been years since I bought cattle by the head. Everything goes across the scale. Get paid for what you do. I won't mind that they weigh more at the time of purchase because I know they will grade better at kill. [/QUOTE]
