[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1639823, member: 5381"] Well you are at the sweet spot (30 days weaned) on preconditioning where your animals really start packing on the weight. You have them straightened out as the industry likes to call it. Don't quit on them now. It all depends on your market but to me you need to at least give them a few more weeks to take advantage of all the work you have done. If your grass is decent they will make you $2 per head per day without any creep just letting them graze. Thats one of my pet peeves on special 45 day wean sales. You have to do it on their timeline with their conditions. Well my animals are ready on my timeline and the timeline that fits my farm. As a result I have to find somewhere to sell where they announce my program and pay for it. Its not that difficult if you will explain it to the sale barn owner what you have or in my case, I take them on a five hour drive where they sell good long weaned calves every week and will announce your program for better or worse.
