[QUOTE="blueridge, post: 447253, member: 5961"] Rock-N-W, My example is the one that is relative to me. I don't care if a sale barn in another part of the state is bringing 25 cents more per pound. By the time you haul the extra miles you come out even. Dont' get me wrong, the local sale barn has it's place, but not if you are trying to get a maximum price for your calves. In reference to prices being different at the end of the sale verses the beginning, that has as much to do with the auctioneer as anythng. What he needs to remember is that may be the only calves you sale that year and he has the obligation to try to get the best price for them. In our case the sale barn has no local competition. Video sales are becoming very popular here as a result. I believe backgrounding should be done if you are in the southeast. We have a reputation of not providing healthy calves to the feed yard and it showes in the prices we receive in relation to other parts of the country. [/QUOTE]
