[QUOTE="FlyingLSimmentals, post: 1205873, member: 16752"] Come to think of it Ron, we had a really nice red bull that got discounted for buyer's gain this year as well, for some of the same reasons. If I recall right I think he weighed 695 and was sold in a 700 lb. pen for a nice discount for some happy buyer. He just looked to much like a bull. He would have made an excellent herd bull, but wasn't a purebred and was my dad's therefore we sold him. Biggest problem with him he gained weight so well that he got to large, expressing too many bull characteristics, before he got old enough to wean and go to market. Most of our feeder calves go to the market at 450 - 700 lbs. at 6 - 8 months old. We haven't seen much of a dock at all with the 400, 500, and light 600 pounders. Don't blame you for wanting to steer them, we've had some problems with it in the past and just decided to leave them all bulls. [/QUOTE]
