[QUOTE="OBAX, post: 1710355, member: 24445"] Mainly it’s because it’s hard to spend $.19/lb to gain $.10/lb. Thats a losing proposition no matter your situation. I’ve always been a strong advocate of preconditioning calves before sale, but inputs are all so high now that it won’t pencil out. I’m for producing snd selling the best product I can but not if it puts me in the red. I sold the majority of my calves this year at weaning and took less per pound, but came out ahead when inputs are added in. So I’ll never fault anybody that chooses that path. [/QUOTE]
