[QUOTE="BC, post: 868385, member: 67"] We have a lot of cattle in the hands of small operators. According to USDA Census of Agriculture figures, there were approxiamately 58,000 beef cows in our county (Van Zandt) and a little over 2000 farms with beef cattle as an enterprise. The average herd size in my county was 31 head before the drought. The sale barns around here do not have a lot of small pens to handle each consignor's cattle seperately. Take the sale at Crockett last week, 1971 head sold by 210 sellers. That is a little over 9 head per consignor. The calves in those consignments may vary in weightr by 300 lbs as a lot of those producers only pen two or three times a year. [/QUOTE]
