[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 618555, member: 3162"] Yes and no but there are ways to get a bench mark. You know that from your experiences. I have read it in your words Cypress. There are things like taking a medium bred cow from the sale barn that doesn't look that great but she's priced right. Once she's wormed and innoculated she takes off. She might be the heaviest in the pasture by the end of the summer. You can have your fall calvers and spring calvers split up at different times on different forage. And you note differences (other than calves pulling them down). You know some breeds can't cut the heat very well and it has an effect but they winter really well. Anyway, you wind up with cows in different scenarios and you note recovery times. Which ones take longer to recover? Which ones calve at 10 to 10 1/2 month intervals and raise some of the best of the bunch while maintaining good condition? When to rotate pasture often depends on the weakest ones. etc. [/QUOTE]
