[QUOTE="Dave, post: 447249, member: 498"] My experience is that sale barns never ask anything but your address. You have to tell them. And beings as you are generally telling someone who can't hold down a good paying job, you need to follow up and make sure things get announced. The local sale barn will do it you just need to make sure that they do. Around here vaccinated weaned calves are $0.20 higher than the straight off the cow no shots calves. That is a lot of money to vaccinate calves. If you don't think they are worth more go buy some preconditioned calves and some no shots straight from the cow calves. Go to feeding them and you will realize how much more they are worth. I think that the farther you are from the main feedlot areas the more they watch for vaccinations. A calf that is going to be on the truck for 20 hours is a lot more stressed than one going 2 hours. [/QUOTE]
