[QUOTE="J+ Cattle, post: 1711366, member: 4063"] Buyers prefer groups of like size, type and quality animals, that's why the commission company sorted off 4 head to sell the next day. They didn't fit into a grouping of 3 or more head to sell on Monday. Singles and cows sell on Tuesday. I took some to OKC a week ago and they sold as a group (all Angus steers 719 lb avg., weaned and two rounds of shots) and they brought $1.55/lb, which was $0.11/lb more than the high end of the range for their weight class as compared to my local salebarn. Unweaned, bawling and flighty calves don't bring as much. Your avg price per head ranged from $633 - $758, mine was $1114, can you see how much it's worth to wean and vaccinate? Wouldn't hurt to use a good Angus bull to turn them all black. [/QUOTE]
