[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1840502, member: 968"] That may be true, but that is shrink and as soon as they settle in, the recoup that shrink quickly. I would say, if you wean for only 1-2 weeks, you are hurting yourself. If you wean for 30+ days, you should make out better. I consistently wean each year for 35-40 days. But, I have developed a marketing direct to a feedlot. I used to type up all the stats (weights, vaccinations, etc) for the buyer. He doesn't even want it anymore. Trusts what I deliver will make him money. Last year my steers brought more than my "pre-sold" bull calves. Steers brought $2028 each. [/QUOTE]
