What I've found out is: the nutritionalist says he can't figure why they didn't gain, the rep say they look ok, my gut says"run as fast as you can". I believe we will not be penalized for backing out with that big of a weight difference. Mr. Feeder has someone that might be interested in taking the chance with the cattle, a day will tell. I thank you all for the quick response in your help. I'll be off the net for awhile due to trying again to get planting. I'll let you know what more happens.
