[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1674599, member: 498"] Neighbor bought a couple of loads of cows out of that dessert country down by Burns. The sell told him that "these cows raise a 600 pound calf every year." That fall after they came out of the hills him and I were looking at the calves. He told me what the seller had said. Pointing at a calf I said he didn't lie, there he is the 600 pound calf. There was about 80 of them that went 400 pounds. But the seller said they raise a 600 pounder. Not they all raise a 600 pounder. Turned out those cows had been on the flat ground down by the lake south of Burns. Here they got turned out in Rye Valley where the ground is steep enough that the cows need climbing gear to get around. I had 3 years in a row that my February-March steers averaged over 700. But that was over on the coast with much better grass than I have here. [/QUOTE]
