[QUOTE="Calhoun Farm, post: 1061245, member: 19637"] Our barn has special preconditioned sales about once/month, in order to sell that way the animal has to meet this criteria: - wormed - vaccinated for respiratory disease IBR/BVD etc, 2nd dose modified live - Pasteurella - 7 or 8 way blackleg - installed free Z-tag with their logo on it Regular sales don't require any of this stuff. The steer I'm wanting to sell has been wormed twice already and given the 7way once. In order to give the other vaccines and buy a Z-tag gun (I use y-tex tags) it would cost me over $75. Of course that is buying 5 doses of each vaccine, so I could precondition more if I needed to in the future, but the initial investment is a little costly. I looked at the sales charts just as an example this week 600lb steers avg 1.33/lb, the last preconditioned sale those wt steers avg about 1.50/lb. 600x1.33= 798 600*1.50=900 [/QUOTE]
