[QUOTE="tom4018, post: 1149409, member: 55"] I was always told to never sell the week before or after a holiday by old timers. In today's market not sure if it holds true. We sold last week and they did really well. I understand why you separate them when you can the day before, it ends up costing a few pounds though. I do it sometimes also. We creep feed them a little so they know what feed is, usually they eat good when in the lot. I have weighed them right off the cow and not had a real bad shrink when at the barn. If they will eat it won't hurt you too bad. Not sure how late you can wait to decide but you could always check the futures Monday morning. But sometimes we have to sacrifice a few dollars to do what is the most convenient for us. I sold a few at a different barn recently because of convenience, probably got about $40 less a calf but had about half the haul distance. [/QUOTE]
