[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1706184, member: 5381"] What it boils down to is you are paying the buyers fee to the eventual owner. The buyer sits there all day and buys whats on his order list for a 1% fee. The buyer should pay this but for some reason, they are passing it on to the seller. A 1% shrink is nothing but a rip off to the seller. The calves will regain 2% of their wight as soon as they are comfortable at a water trough. I would tell the sale barn owner that I was not going to pay it or I would take my business elsewhere but since you are in Alberta you may not have the choice of going elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
