I have listed my inlaws calves on Western Video for about 3 yrs. My wifes Great Uncle told me the first year that he thought the buyer should give them the first 10 lbs then slide them from their. That made me curious so I sat down and put together several different scenarios. No matter how you figure a slide you can not loose money. I have not actually set down and figured out what the dollars/hd difference was if you sold a set of 600 lb calves at market value compared to selling them at 550 and slideing them. I can tell you though that for every lb overweight your calves are you are getting more dollars/hd than you do if they make weight. If they do not make weight it is unfortunate for you but that is a losing scenario.
