Another question for MM or somebody that knows:
Here in Iowa the state has a Green and Gold Tag program. It certifies the calf has received a round of specific vaccinations(green tag) and two rounds(gold tag) and has been weaned for a minimum of 45 and 60 days, respectively. All shots, castration, dehorning must be done by a veterenarian, and after completion a preconditioning certificate is issued.
Would sale barn calves that go thru this program and are backgrounded be considered high or low risk calves and do you think order buyers would pay more for these type of calves if not a full pot load?
Thanks for your post MM, it was very informative.
