[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1838924, member: 32659"] To get the value added money around here we have to ship calves to a bigger sale or wait for one of the 3 local barns to have a special sale. This was a hard lesson for me to learn. Only thing I can figure is the buyers at the local sales are there for calves that were trailer weaned and they can get at a discounted price. Weaned calves are a bonus for them. Also usually buyers looking for Value Added calves want a truckload of the same weight class. Might be 500, 600, or 700 pounders. If they can't get a full truckload they'll dock them pretty hard since they have to keep them until they get a truckload. Another lesson I learned the hard way. I'm sure every area is different but that's how it happens around here. [/QUOTE]
