[QUOTE="herofan, post: 1442018, member: 17843"] If you were selling your calf crop and had a couple of stragglers thAt were only three months old, would you go ahead and sell those too, or would it be beneficial to keep them a while longer? A couple of years ago when prices were high, we sold a three month old with the others, and the guy who hauled for us almost crapped his shorts. He said we should keep that one a few more months, but we went ahead and sold it. By the time a few more months rolled around, prices had dropped drastically, so we came out on top there. To be honest, it was no brilliant forecasting on our part, we just didn't want to fool with keeping one calf, and we got lucky. What is the general rule of thumb? [/QUOTE]
