[QUOTE="BC, post: 431951, member: 67"] Two things - 1)How much premium is enough? In my area, the NETBIO sale at Sulphur Springs regularly sees $5 to $7 per cwt. premiums over the same quality calves sold at sales that same week. Next sale is September 19 and can be seen over the internet. 2.) If you keep back replacement heifers you are already in the backgrounding or preconditioning business. Just treat your steers and feeder heifers the same as you would the replacement heifers. A fat bloomy calf at the sale barn is a calf looking for problems. People are always asking what do the buyers want? Well they want calves that have hardened up and got the bawl out of them and have had the upper resporatory shots to prevent BVD,BRSV, PI3, etc. [/QUOTE]
