[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1461578, member: 9096"] I haven't found that weaning and holding them netted me any results.. did it once.. Between the extra food you feed them, vaccine cost, handling, shrink they take some time to make up, plus any risks on health issues, nah. I do have a good relationship with my sale barn people, I always go and say hi to the handlers, I text the auctioneer once in a while with updates on my calves, when they'll come to the sale, etc.. My calves usually go through around 1-2PM when there are lots of bums in the seats to bid. I had them go through first and last, and NEVER AGAIN!.. you can lose $10/cwt pretty easily. If I can, I like talking to the buyers as well, but they're usually busy. [/QUOTE]
