Sorry bird dog, I haven't been around a computer. PaPaw told you right. Typically I group calves
of similar weight and sex into pot loads. I do send mixed loads when I am cleaning up. Any one of
my loads may be sold as one or several groups. This is supposed to be why we are represented by
commission companies. It is their job to represent our cattle. I give them all the information on
vaccinations, feed, etc. to try to help them present our cattle better.
I buy whatever fits my order at the local salebarns. I buy bulls, steers, and heifers and try to get
blacks, black baldies, black mottleface, smokes, yellow charlais-x, whites with black noses. I stay
away from much ear, and try to stay kind of middle of the road with no spots, shorts or exotics.
Hope this helps.
