[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 699085, member: 6713"] Thank you for the well thought and heartfelt reply. What has gotten lost in this thread is the fact that the calf with a little roan hair on his butt was EXACTLY the same as the others. Same sire and same bunch of good old shorthorn cows. The only problem with that calf was his daddy just didn't finish knocking the roan out of him. I agree with what you said that my friend shoulda known he was gonna get thumped on that calf, and did what you suggest. Heck we have been actually making more on some of those calves for club calves cuz some of them are pretty typy but carry a little color. After I sat next to a Buyer one day and watched him "steal" one from my partner the same way. His buddy says what the he{{ are you gonna do with that loud sucker. He says take him to Gunnison and sell him for a club calf for $1,000 next week. Dumb as I am I decided to cut out the middle man and do the same thing. Only difference is we don't charge the kids near as much as he does. Since a GR Champ at these county fairs is only worth $2200 to $3000. HOWEVER, here is where my rear end gets chapped. Like I tried to explain to Frankie. This calf has more than enuf BLACK on him to qualify for CAB and because of the system this buyer gets to buy him for $.80 when his mates bring $1.05. That's the gyp, whether or not my friend made a bad descision is irrevelant. It just means the feedyard gets the money and not my friend. [/QUOTE]
