[QUOTE="daneg, post: 1706326, member: 22547"] Here presort sales have pencil shrink, there is a sliding scale depending how far they are trucked, something like 0-100km 3%,101-200km 2%, 201-300km 1%, 300+ 0% this is weighed off the truck sorted then put on feed and water. Used to have a neighbor who weighed his calves for about 30yrs he would weigh them on Friday put back on the cows until Monday then wean and ship 35 miles for Tuesday sale with over night stand at the sale barn until weighed at sale time. Over the years they averaged 6% shrink on 5 weight calves. [/QUOTE]
