[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1712288, member: 968"] Well, I have some whales (literally) and they are easy keeping. If you picture an "easy keeper", you would think of a 4-5 FS, 1000# cow. Well, I have mostly 5.5 - 6.5 FS, 1800# cows that are easy keepers (herd avg on MATURE cows is 1700# right now - usually more like 1650#). We weaned our calves Sept 6? - my cow herd is fat as little pigs. Fat pockets at the tail head (ugly!!) I have bred for 50 years for cows that produce on grass in summer and hay in the winter and are fertile myrtles with lots of guts. I guess it has worked. But, we are still grazing lush grasses. Neighbors are still putting up HAY! [/QUOTE]
