Stocker Hired by KeepEmAlive Stockers, LLC a stocker operation that has historically run 1,500 head per year, but this number has varied from 750 to as many as 3,000. Calves are currently individually weighed at the ranch upon arrival when they are processed, but are not weighed at sale time as they are sold directly out of the pasture. However, the ranch owner has indicated a willingness to set up a scale in the pasture to weigh cattle as they come off grass if it would be economical.
