[QUOTE="Workinonit Farm, post: 63898, member: 839"] Hi CowCop, Precon, I believe means pre-conditioned. My understanding of preconditioned is that the animals are already weaned, have had vaccinations and been de-wormed and introduced to/eating "feed". The value in that, is that one is not buying calves that just came off their mammas, haven't been introduced to/eating feed etc. and therefore will not be as "stressed". The preconditioned calves would be less likely to get sick and are not going to be spending all kinds of energy looking for mom. I think that pretty much covers it...in a nutshell. I may have forgotten something. I hope that's clear? I don't always articulate as well as some of the others do. :) [/QUOTE]
