[QUOTE="Angus Cowman, post: 821509, member: 8829"] I know at the salebarns around here if you sell weaned calves vs wet calves you will see atleast a $.05 cent spread on them and it usually is up close to $.10 also with calf prices as high as they are and feed prices up it isn't any different feeding them this yr than it has been in the past My calves have to be weaned and vacc'ed as I don't sell thru the salebarn except for odd or lights if feed is costing you $.80 to get a lb of gain and 6 wts are selling for $1.30 you can still afford to feed them calves it is simple math if calves are weaned properly you won't have much shrink and they market better around here [/QUOTE]
