[QUOTE="sidney411, post: 170528, member: 430"] When I sell strait to a buyer I load up all steers and weight the whole bunch at the farm store/feed mill then divide out the weight by number of animals, same for the heifers. I also weight the empty trailer and truck for a base point. My buyer gives me a CWT based on the average weight for each group. Otherwise they get weighed at the auction as they run through the ring. We borrowed a scale from the extension office once. It was a pain in the butt to use. It wasn't one of those digital ones though. Every time the calf shifted the weight would be throun off and I'd have a heck of a time balancing it. I've never used one before that though, so it was probably user error. [/QUOTE]
