[QUOTE="ArrowHBrand, post: 427223, member: 6496"] I've never sold directly to the stocker, but I have bought directly from a seedstock producer. Up here, I don't know if they do it in other parts of the country, there is what is called a Green Tag Sale held in September of every year. At this sale the seller must have all calves weaned and on feed, UTD on vaccinations, and all breeding heifers must be given their calfhood vaccines. This gives the buyer the peace of mind that he is getting a superior animal that can go right into his breeding program. For doing these extra little bits, we receive a premium on our animals. My wife and I also have talked about buying steer calves in the spring and pasturing them all summer and selling them in the fall. The biggest preventer is the ever present cost of start up. It's always a killer. [/QUOTE]
