[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 554111, member: 7645"] The truck efficiency argument (either way) really has no merit since most truckers are going too fill it to 40,000 pounds (or whatever their rig's legal limit is)......whether that is 80 500 lb calves, 100 400 lb calves, or 50 800 pound calves he is still going to try to haul the same weight. Actually, if these grain prices keep going up I expect they will be hauling more loads of older heavier stockers to the feedlot rather than buying as many calves right off the cow. [/QUOTE]
