[QUOTE="Zippy768, post: 9234164, member: 59028"] We do use a buyer for market calves, I simply don't have the time to be trailing around 5/6 markets a week he does. You are correct with the pricing and picking. If the quality isn't in market or prices too high, nothing or just a few will arrive - buyer lives v close by, so dropping off 2 or 3 is thankfully no bother. Tbh I've swayed away from the "dribbling in" effect. Barn is now ready and set up, and he has 3 weeks to fill 110 spaces. Idea being that it'll be one hit of bugs and should settle down. Quality of animal hasn't fallen, more that buyer has to work harder and go a little further a field for the animals. I like fresh calves tbh, but 3 weekers is the youngest. Avg age a month I'd have thought [/QUOTE]
