backgrounded calves

[greybeard]

My experience with sending the whole group to a presort has been less than great. In order to benefit from the sort there has to be cattle of similar quality to sort yours with, producing a larger, and more desirable group. With a good sort it should be hard to pick your calves out. The last one I took mine to I thought my calves made their groups look better. My opinion only, but did I average the price up for someone else?
I had given up on the presort idea, till Grassfarmer suggested them as a good place to market odds and ends that don’t fit with the rest of your group
Some markets seem to make them work,but as I say, they have to have simmilar cattle to work with.

A presort is only as good as the sorter.

you know, kpb, I do that a lot myself. My husband really thinks I need my head examined. He could sleep through a tornado, I swear. Then the phone rings and he's up like a shot (he's on call a lot and the plant might actually blow up without him, LOL!) I can so relate to your post, kpb. Great minds think a like...
fools seldom differ...
Have a great night all!

kbp don't worry your knowledgeable little head about my operation-I don't lose much nappy time about yours. Check back in the fall we'll see who was right-I'll bet on myself this time sunshine.
