[QUOTE="sjr725, post: 433882, member: 4936"] Way up here we don't specifically "pre-condition" but since we calve early (Jan-Feb) then send the cows & calves to the mountains for the summer, by the time we bring them home in early October, they are around 9 mo old and most have been weaned by momma already or darn close to it. We'll bring them home and sort them out and ship them. We've been selling to the same buyer for almost 20 years and we'll call and let him know when we'll be bringing them home and he'll send the trucks. Calves will have been totally separated from momma for a couple of days, but at their ages it's not really an adjustment. We'll weigh them in groups when we sort them so we'll have a fair idea how they're going to go. [/QUOTE]
