[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 58754"] I was wondering if anyone could tell me why rat tail calves take such a hit at the sale barn? I know what causes rats, but don't understand the discount by the order buyers. A small feeder in my area says he purchases alot of rats for his feed lot because they are such a bargain. I asked him about any drawbacks to finishing these calves, he said there were none. He said they were above average gainers and most had quality carcuses. In the past, I have taken rat tail calves strait to him and recieved the same price that my other calves brought. Is this another way for buyers to steal calves or is there a legitamate reason for the discount? [/QUOTE]
