[QUOTE="CowCop, post: 382124, member: 1049"] We don't have scales either. If you have a private buyer, they, or their hauler, can go to a truck weigh station ( gravel yard etc ) and weight their truck and trailer empty and then load the steer(s) and return to get the full weight. Works for us and other small beef/bison/sheep/goat producers in the area. Much more accurate than eyeballing and less dangerous than using a livestock tape on cattle that have no clue. Much more jingle in your pocket to sell to a private buyer, rather than to mass market them at the auction yard. [/QUOTE]
