shrink has two diffent meanings if you are selling to a country buyer shrink is a means of adjusting price. that is,it makes you think you are getting a better price than you really are. 2. shrink in a very real thing,most will occure in the first four hours or a short ride. Type of feed will influence greatlly,dry hay is usally best. Cattle's disposition and the way they are handled makes a big difference. Sell any females or bulls that tend to be flity, a wild cow won't make you money. I haul my calves about 300 miles to the sale barn, ie. Brush,Co or Torrington Wyo. I've weigh the cattle on trucks near home, a few times and i've found that if I deliver to the the yard 3 to 4 days before the sale I can kept loss to under 2%. Some neighbors go direct to feedlots 300 to 750 mile most will add 5% back to the in weight to calculate gain for the finnishing period. A lot of info can be found Nebraska Extention Service. Good luck in the Cow business!!!!!!!!!!!! Bill
