[QUOTE="gcreekrch, post: 1537573, member: 14161"] Feeders here like calves to come from a vaccination program but will actually pay less for preconditioned calves than bawling ones. The theory is that regardless of how long the are weaned, moving and hauling puts enough stress on calves that many will get sick regardless. They like to have them off the cow, through the ring, inducted into the lot and on feed withing 3 or 4 days. Not sure how far calves from different areas in the US have to travel to feedlots but here it can be 16 to 20 hour hauls. [/QUOTE]
