[QUOTE="smnherf, post: 362675, member: 3235"] Around here, there is a $5 to $7 discount for a lot of the calves that have had no shots. There is no doubt that if the buyer is more comfortable with the health of the calves, they are worth more. There are many feedlots that I know of that will not buy unvaccinated calves at any price. After the storms of the cattle feeding area in Jan and Feb of this year, there will be more pressure put on the calves that haven't been vaccinated or preconditioned. I assure you that these feedlots know where the cattle came from that had high death losses and high pull rates and they won't be back unless they can build that death loss into the price they pay for calves. I believe that when this cattle cylce gets to a point where the feeders have more cattle to fight over the discounts will get larger. Brian [/QUOTE]
