[QUOTE="Alan, post: 880988, member: 378"] I'm with you Bigbull, I figure I took a 5 cent hit for horns and another 5 cents (per lb.) for bulls. So. I lost about $2.50 on each of the bulls and about another $2.50 for horns. There is no way in he!! I'm going to castrate and dehorn for another $7.50 (before auction fees). Inbred, as I stated I'm a hobby guy, I also said in my post I only took 3 calves to the sale, while I agree I would get a few cents extra if I hauled a couple of hundred miles further to the east side. I don't think it would be close to an extra .30, maybe .10 or .15., but I would lose much more than that in fuel cost. I kept the majority of my calves this year for replacements and freezer steers, which I castrated myself, i'm happy to give the $2.50 to the sale yard and save myself the hassle. Alan [/QUOTE]
