Another important thing is be there when your cattle sell! Make sure the mart isn't playing games and everything is on the up and up. If one of your calves comes in lame make sure you pass him or let the manager know you expect some Hartford insurance when they knock him back 30 cents!...the things that can go on back in the yards are apalling!
It is also a good idea to make sure the boys in the back are feeding your calves if you are paying for a fed pen! They tend to either "forget" or feed them garbage a billy goat wouldn't eat!
Better to haul in the hay yourself and know they got some good feed in their guts! Never get a water pen if you can help it! You will improve your "shrink" considerably! "shrink"...another buyer scam!
