[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1462423, member: 5381"] Another reason to sell at OKC. While a group all the same color will do better, the discount for having a few off color is not nearly as much. BTW my loads to OKC are 13000 lbs and I haul them 5 hours and believe its worth it. The key is having your healthy calves eating well to eliminate the shrink. Saving that 5% shrink on 13000 lbs is 650 lbs. Multiply that x $1.50 and your freight is easily paid for. Be honest with your commission company man on what you got and build up a reputation. Even if they are unweaned bawlers, let them know. Watch the sale and see how they announce some of them and that will give you some ideas on what to tell them. [/QUOTE]
