[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 1280146, member: 17956"] My comments on this, will start a fight, it always does. IMHO, we do the industry a disservice when we sell unweaned calves. I think calves should be vaccinated (yours probably are), and weaned. I think we all pay the price for people that ship calves that aren't ready to go. I have made a dollar here and there, buying unsettled calves that needed TLC. It's a risk, and I guess there is a place for someone to do that in the market. That job should be eliminated though. Shipping calves that are ready to start, should be our goal. If we all looked out for the best interest of each other, the industry would be stronger. In other words, there is very little risk in weaning my own calf. I buy an unweanded calf, that's been stressed etc., the risk goes up exponentially. Some here wean with diesel smoke, and backer juice out the drivers side window, at that's their prerogative. It's just my opinion that its not the best way. [/QUOTE]
