[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1649417, member: 5381"] Lots of things can make a difference. How long they have been weaned is a key one. For the average sale barn they will just put them in a pen with a 100 others and one water trough and nothing good to eat if anything at all. If thats the case it will be something close to 6% or 7% for long weaned calves, 8 to 12% for trailer weaned bawlers. They will lose 5% just on the trip. Taking them the night before is a killer for avoiding shrink. [/QUOTE]
