[QUOTE="Northern Rancher, post: 380131, member: 5898"] That's a pile of crap Rod-what your saying in essence is we should keep breeding big birthweight cattle that we have to pull the odd calf from because if we don't we'll lose our calving ease-isn't that an oxymoron. it's just a crutch breeds and breeders use when they can't or won't deal with the problem. We've just started calving only 40 so far but I haven't seen one born yet-we've used cattle that will calve here for generations. I just shipped out the first sort out of my poorer yearlings that we finished-1416 after a 5% shrink and 100 percent AAA's. The lady had the misfortune to have a huge calf-I'm sure she doesn't need to breed a bunch of big BW in hopes that she might raise a heifer that can have a monster. Ranch a little longer sunshine and keep pumping the BW into your cowherd and you'll soon learn what the business end of a puller is all about. How the heck would you know the birth weight of cattle born in their natural state. I've bred,fed and calved enough critters here to know those big BW cattle aren't worth the diesel it takes to ship them. You keep on saving the industry one big calf at a time I'll just on Ranching for Profit with my little 'JACKRABBITS' lol. [/QUOTE]
