[QUOTE="cattlemen01, post: 530367, member: 8208"] I wished I new for sure!!!!!! One thing is for sure it will change some, hopefuly for the GOOD Iam not sure of your sitution on these 4-5 wt. eg.( not weaned, weaned, purchased calves etc.) Here is my opinion and with $.50 you still couldn't get cup of coffee or coke. The is a breaking point for your operation and mine and everyone elses for that matter. You need to find that point, use todays market price and see if you can make some $$$$$ now or with heavier cattle. I would see if your area offers any PRE COND or VAC sales. I use my local PC and Vac sales and Iam very happy with the results, compared to the local auction barn. This method is not for everyone, you must be set up to wean, feed and handle this option. Alot of the local people around me think Iam crazy for doing this. The sale is 100 miles away gate to gate They say its to much work and time consuming, thats there opinion. I liked my check alot more than they liked theirs. I have sold cattle one day part, some at local barn and some at PC and Vac sale, and after all is accounted for, ( working,feed,meds,diesel for hauling to sale barn 100 miles one way) . I will not sale at the local barn again, unless other sale disappears for some reason. Good Luck, hope this helped [/QUOTE]
