[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 362371, member: 2095"] EXACTLY, been there done that. It is really silly for me to vaccinate a bunch of calves when the feedlot is going to put them on a truck with a bunch of unvaccinated calves. Even when the stockyard passes that information on to the order buyer he knows that the cowboys at the lot are going to vaccinate everything when they get to their end anyway. They aren't going to sort out the vaccinated calves from the unvaccinated and even if I have mine started on feed the cowboys at the feedlot are going to treat them exactly like the other 90% of the calves which have never seen a mixed ration in their lives. From a money standpoint, if I am going to hold the calves another 45 days, I would be better off leaving them on the cow (if the cows are in good condition) and selling 650 pound calves instead of 550 pound calves and not mess with the extra handling.
