[QUOTE="cmjust0, post: 169268, member: 2882"] How many of you folks have scales on your farms? I've been to quite a number of auctions on farms around here, and I've never seen a livestock scale... I'd really like to buy some weaned steers this spring from a local producer (don't know who yet) instead of buying from the sale barn, but I'm not sure how I would go about getting them weighed... The sale barn is 30 miles away, and the closest scale that might potentially work is the grain scale at a feed store 15 miles away.. To use that one, I'd have to find the difference between the loaded and unloaded weight, and I'm not even sure the scale is large enough for that.. Nor am I sure that the feed store would let someone use it for that purpose.. Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
