[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1772048, member: 22295"] We are in a drought so grass varied greatly. The area these calves were in was real dry in mid summer. Then got some rains starting around September that helped. The grass here isn’t the strongest. We have found certain bloodlines that perform better in our environment. Had a talk with the PB breeder after the sale that bred the sire. He is a Hoover Dam grandson. His sire was a top son who produced many top feed efficiency performers. They translate that to grass performance for us better than any of the current bloodlines we have tried. We are trying some Growth Fund influence now. The PB is using some also and early indications are they perform better than any current sires they have tried. We have to have a high volume cow for our low quality forages. So have found regardless of frame size a cow needs to be 1,350 lbs or above [/QUOTE]
