[QUOTE="dewey, post: 479928, member: 5710"] most of the time the one starting the cattle are gonna keep the purty much even no matter when they sale. alot of it depends on the condition of the cattle. some people right before they bring them to a sale barn put them in the pen and fill them full of feed. some bring 20 calves and want 10 bales of hay put out for them. the cattle eat hay or feed when they hit the ring they are all bellied up and going to be discounted. some people maybe sitting there watching them sale and cant figure out why some are bringing 5 to 10 dollars less then others. the buyer doesnt wanna pay for all the feed and hay they are packing. alot of people listen to radio reports and read reports in the papers where the heavier cattle are bringing more. they tell them to sale the cattle heavier. most when reading or hear that think that means to pump them full of feed right before saleing them. that means hold them until they are a certain weight range and then sale them. that may sound crazy to some but i have had people ask me, should we put them on hay tonight? i tell them no they need to draw some. then they say, well i thought they would bring more heavier. myself if you bring cattle in the day before a sale and have them put on hay or feed you are wasteing your money and costing yourself money.
