[QUOTE="cross_7, post: 1042755, member: 8382"] My opinion is the guys that wean them in the trailer on the way to the sale barn is a problem for the whole cattle industry People won't buy or discount calves due to health problems and weight loss on unweaned calves, but when I go to the sale barn I buy the calves that are drawn and stressed that the others pass on at a discount. Most times in 2 weeks they are lined out and I have made the money the sellers left on the table If people would or could wean, vaccinate and sell them in the special calf sales it would most times be worth the added trouble But lots of folks don't and it hasn't killed anyone yet [/QUOTE]
