We used to implant the steer calves (we implanted the heifers at one time, long ago, but stopped that) but we did not implant in '09.
The buyers in our area like the calves better that are not implanted because the feeder can implant and get that growth burst.
Interesting, the calves were 65 lbs heavier than in '08. Of course,
it was very dry in '08 and '09 was wetter and cooler. :?
