[QUOTE="BC, post: 1706202, member: 67"] Most country sales will have a pencil shrink figured in the deal. Typically, most auction sales do not take a pencil shrink because the calves stand several hours before they are sold and weighed. In August and September when it is hot that shrink can be 8 to 10% from what the calf weighed before they got on a trailer. The exception in our area are the pre-conditioned calf sales. Those calves are weighed and sorted off the trailer soon after arriving at the sale. A 2% pencil shrink is applied to determine pay weight. [/QUOTE]
