[QUOTE="WestieGirl, post: 161013, member: 2978"] In this area there usually is a good couple cents difference between steer and bulls or even stags....no feedlot wants to have to deal with them. I have worked at a couple feedlots that have dealt with incoming bulls in a variety of ways. At one feedlot the bulls were banded once they arrived and then dealing with infectioned sacs, the illnesses that comes with this infection and then the cattle going off feed b/c they are sick. Or the feedlot where they knife them and then there is that much more employee time and effort going into doing that instead of other things. After having to deal with bulls and all the extra time they take in a feedlot it is no wonder that they pay less to have them. [/QUOTE]
