[QUOTE="blueridge, post: 447233, member: 5961"] In reference to the original question -- at our local sale barn they only ask where to send the check. They don't care about vacs or backgrounding. In fact we have been considering whether to start backgrounding ours or not. Here in SC we have feeder sales that are supposed to bring uniform calf crops together at one sale to take advantage of premiums from vaccinating and weaning for 45 days as well as getting them used to eating from bunks and waterers. I went to one to see if it was worth it. The regular sale is on Mandays with the feeder sale on Tue. I printed off the results of the Mon sale to take as a comparison. The feeder sale was a joke! A friend of mine sent 4 steers through that averaged just over 700 lbs. They brought a mere .9001 while the same weight steer on Mon brought 1.09! He was ticked! Needless to say we are rethinking using our local sale barn to market our next year calves. [/QUOTE]
