[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 866605, member: 6198"] Dave, I am glad you got a decent price. I am also glad that no loss of human life. Sorry to hear about the injured and dead. I have a question though. Those that are kept back for the next sale, are they wet nosed, just weaned calves. If they are, and if you have the feed, might be better to bring them home some preventative antiboitics and stuff and feed them out for a while. My reason for this suggestion is, wet nosed loose alot of condition in the first 4 weeks of weaning. Add in the stress of the accident, rounding up, and still in the feed lot, and they might shrink out alot in the days to follow and possibly get sick from stress. Then when they sell, they won't look as good and sell pretty cheap. Now if they have been weaned awhile...different story [/QUOTE]
