[QUOTE="kenny thomas, post: 868663, member: 8993"] I know many people can not do it any different and thats fine but I love buying cattle that were brought in the day before. I challenge each of u to weigh a load of cattle that you take in the day before and then compare it to the sale weight. We take cattle from 3-6pm the day before the sale. We put them on hay and water and feed them if the owner brings his own feed. Sometimes I will weigh a big calf, cow or bull just to see. Had a bull last week loose 100 lb by the time he was sold. Most of the calves loose a lot if not weaned because about all they do is stand and bawl. Hay and water is there but during the first 18 hours or so all they seem to want is momma. [/QUOTE]
