[QUOTE="talltimber, post: 1235440, member: 22236"] Yes sir. That's correct. My calves are getting bigger. I am watching to not let them get too fat, maybe to my disadvantage, but I think they will be better for the buyer to go on with backgrounding them. I know these calves well, the holes in each one and their past issues are recorded, what treatments they have had, etc. Two rounds of shots, knife cut, will be weaned the last of the month or mid April at the latest. I know everybody is probably pretty proud of their calves and I may think they are better than they are. I am also thinking of going with an online auction or craigs with them to see what happens. As is, West Plains weighted average, no shrink, no shipping, no commission. I think I'm doing good, probably better than most in this area, but don't want to leave money on the table after really trying to do my part to make sure these calves are good to go. I'm probably putting too much info out there now that I think about it, buy am very curious as to what's acceptable and commonly taking place. I don't want to sound unappreciative of my current setup. That's not what this is about. Just curious and wanting to get all I can get, while supplying all I can supply. [/QUOTE]
