I have two salesbarns I use. One is close and I can haul in the AM. The bigger one is farther and I need to ship the evening before, but they do run the overnight cattle through the ring first.
I realize you get up to 9% shrink with an overnight stand, but going though the sales ring early seems to be worth 3 to 5 dollars per hundred. I asked my trucker about minimizing shrink but he says the buyers adjust for fill... I am not so sure.
Any suggestions on how to manage the trade off between shrink and order through the sales ring?
