[QUOTE="Texan, post: 50939, member: 416"] The way I understand your operation, you are sourcing at least half of your calves from the salebarn. Why begrudge them the commission it takes to remain in business? I would suggest to you that until you get large enough numbers of uniform calves to be attractive to somebody that you stick with the auction. If you'll take the time at the sale to build a relationship with one or two buyers there, let them know what you do to your calves or even vaccinate/feed them the way the buyers want, its still possible for you to come out ahead. After you get to know some of them, let them know when your calves are selling. All it would take is a couple of buyers hitting them once or twice to take up the slack in that commission. [/QUOTE]
