Any fair have a rule on acceptable weigh backs on beef and hogs? In a % I'd assume. What's acceptable at the commercial level for shrink?
We weigh Wednesday night for class breaks to show Friday for the beef. Then are weighed again Sunday. Most of them weights are acceptable every year. Ones I see go thru Sale barn on Monday and Thursday sometimes make you scratch your head. Had one at 26% shrink last year from Sunday to Monday am............
Haven't seen any weights on hogs but if we are going to make a rule it will be all weighed market animals.
