[QUOTE="Coosh71, post: 1537331, member: 25267"] Buyers in our area ALWAYS notice the heady bawling calves in the sale ring. Always sit on their hands til the Auctioneer lowers the bid a bit. We hold ours on grass and cake for a MINIMUM of 30 days and usually longer. They get an additional vac of covexin 8 after weaning and we have had dang near 0 revacs during the holding period before we sell. And usually add some good weight prior to selling. We will weigh and private sell our spring calves last week of October. Our buyers know our calves have had 2 rounds of shots, wormed and been weaned plenty long enough to not have to worry about sick bawling calves. IMO it matters. We sell well above sale barn every year and do not have to haggle on price. [/QUOTE]
