[QUOTE="Arnold Ziffle, post: 251436, member: 43"] Lammie, are you selling Brutus today? (or maybe Alice owns him, I can't remember) Anyway, on small loads of easily distinguishable calves like you have I think it would be of some interest to you to know exactly what each calf weighed and how much it brought per pound. If you don't already do so, next time you take calves to the sale barn you might consider having your tablet ready, with a brief written description of each calf (assuming they are not ear tagged or number branded already) -- then record the number of the yellow tag the barn employees slap on them. Your pay sheet can then be used to get weight and price per pound info for each specific calf. It's a good way to find out individual calf weights if you don't have on-site scales and also a good way to determine if buyers see things in your calves that you don't see -- useful info IMHO..
