[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1839029, member: 40587"] Like it is here. There are no 18 wheelers in the yard at the sales. Most of the auction owners buy a lot of the trailer weaned calves, and they go to each others sales to do so. They take them back home, where they do worm, vaccinate, castrate, implant etc, and feed them out for a while. Then, when they do have a truckload of like kind and size, they send them out west to a feedlot. Here, most all cattle operations are cow-calf. Actually, we are grass producers, and cattle and hay are how we market the grass. No one retains heifers, or grows steers for a year, etc. They would be eating the grass that you could have had another cow on. Once a calf is 6 mos old, it is time to trailer wean it, and use that money to buy another cow. [/QUOTE]
