I have a question for those of you that runs stockers. How much is a weaned and vaccinated calf worth to you versus a calf that was weaned on diesel smoke? $20? $50? $100? Here at the sale barn a weaned and vacc calf if worth $.05 to $.10 more than one just pulled off the cow with no shots. As a result very few people wean calves around here. I was just wondering what dollar amount weaning is worth for stocker folks. I should have my weaning pen finished by summer so I was wondering if it was worth using it for anything besides retained heifers.
