Regular Sale
250 cattle today.
Some very good groups of weaned/vaccinated calves today and several groups
unweaned without shots and still bulls. The difference between the two groups is
huge. The producers who weaned, vaccinated and castrated took home from
$50 to $150 more money per head. Paying a vet is very cheap when comparing
head dollars for the two groups.
