Had a Charolais bull I hauled on Sunday to sale barn for Monday sale. I ran him across the scale (no ticket on Sunday) to see what he weighed. 2490 pounds on Sunday. Put hay and they had water there for over night. Next morning he weighed 2445 pounds. Needless to say that was the end of my hauling on Sunday.

Most of the time I can unload and before I get the truck parked they are being graded and several have been weighed. Shrink is a big loss when calves have to wait 10-12 hours before being weighed.
