Abstract: Excerpt from the report: The objective of this study was to determine the rate of shrink of calves during different time periods at the market, and which factors were most closely related to this shrinkage. Four factors were considered: (1) the distance hauled to the auction market; (2) the weight of calves when marketed; (3) the breed and grade of calves; and (4) the prevailing temperature on the sale day.
