[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1795143, member: 40587"] There are no[I] buyers[/I] per se like there is in the west and mid-west. The buyers are the other ranchers, and a few may buy some to condition and send to a feed lot. Some will buy a calf or 2 that size,, to kill or re-sale in the fall. It would take months for enough similar calves to come through the sale to get up a "pot load". Everyone calves year round, and take what is 6 mos old to the sale when they reach it. No way for anyone to know who brought what calves in anyway, unless they were back there when you brought the calves in that morning or Friday night. The calves will be sorted and run through with any other calves that size color and sex. When head cows sell, then yeah, the owners stand up and tell about them, etc, but weigh calves are in and out of the ring in 3-4 seconds. They wouldn't stop the sale for you to tell them who you are and what these calves are even if you wanted to. I have no idea how they turn out after they are sold, unless a neighbor buys some.
