We read some of the steers going to grass and read them all today sorting for loads to ship. The strs that were read at turn out it would tell us ADG. WE weren't real happy we the scale today. Not sure of accuracy but the cattle really shrunk from ranch to sale barn 140 miles away. The barn to 1.5% and in total they shrunk 9%. it was a fairly hot day.
