[QUOTE="mnmtranching, post: 431283, member: 3937"] Mostly what I'm saying is, precondition in a way that pays you, not the feedlot. Those guys aren't out to do you any favors, their out to buy as cheap as possible. They know very well you may need $1.20 to break even, but will go home happy if they get your calves for a buck. I also believe the bacterias and viruses are prevalent every where "more at the sale barn" It's the stress on calves that causes problems, all it takes is one sick and their all sick. I'm saying if your going through the trouble of preconditioning calves do it for at least 2 months. Unless of course you have some other agreement with buyers. [/QUOTE]
