What kind of club calf sale are you talking about?  Just an ordinary consignment auction where you bring and take care of your own calves will probably run in the neighborhood of 10% give or take a little.  When a trader takes your calves to resell for you, then you're getting into the 20 - 40% range, depending on how they do it.
