Welcome to the Cattle Business.  Some times it pay's to drink more beer,  one result is forget the past, another is don't worry and over think the Business.  Sell them and move on.  It is called a turn.  Walking away from this turn with enough money to go again is a Win. We have seen one of the Greatest Losses of Equity in the Cattle Business that has ever occurred.  Think Survival.  Stories of selling cattle, going outside, puke, then go back and buy lighter cattle at the same sale.  I first saw and heard that saying,  40 years ago, outside of the  KC Stockyards still can see those long faces like it was yesterday.
