[QUOTE="jt, post: 77798, member: 238"] there is a difference in hauling them 50 miles and then checking the weight, and hauling them 50 miles to go thru the stress of a sale. i have had calves loose 10% from morning to evening (about 10 hours) going thru the sale. i understand that anywhere between 8 and about 14% or so is normal.. of course that would depend on their condition and how long they have to wait at the barn before being sold. i know 10% might sound high, but they will do it. jt [/QUOTE]
