In a year of sky-high costs, cattle producers know every cent counts when it comes time to market calves. How can you maximize the price your calves bring at sale time? University of Nebraska Extension beef specialist Ivan Rush says the key is in reviewing the basics and paying attention to details.

Rush’s first reminder is to sell in uniform load lots. "They sell at a premium to smaller groups of calves," says Rush.
