In my experience buyers are pretty adept at spotting gut fill in fat cattle and bid accordingly. Most barns give hay and water to overnight cattle so you're probably talking 10# of difference in weight maybe? Could be less if they regain some of the water weight they lost on the way. But even considering they'd be a little lighter if they bring a $1 more you're money ahead.
