[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 619028, member: 7645"] There are feedlots within 200 miles of where you sell and major slaughter plants within similar distances. When I sell calves in Alabama, they are going to ride 100-200 miles to an order buyer's yard. After they get sorted with loads from other stockyards, they are going to ride 700 -1100 miles to a feedlot. By that time, they will have been mixed two or three times and their health status is going to be significantly challenged. In Florida, add another 400 miles of trucking. Obviously, if I were a Kansas feedlot I might pay a little more for calves that only rode 3 hours versus Florida calves who have been on a truck for days. I see the Tulsa price quoted on here pretty regularly and I know that our barns are going to be something less than that. [/QUOTE]
