[QUOTE="Stickney94, post: 1712318, member: 37941"] I'm with you Jeanne -- I think the image of easy keeping may differ from the reality. Drought here all summer meant we've been supplementing with poor hay and corn stalks for more than a month already. It's amazing how quickly a fat cow can decline in BCS when the pickings are slim and the quality is worse. The calves though look pretty decent so we shall see. I guess it will be an interesting test case for "easy keeping" when we wean in a month. If the cow is in better condition and weans an average calf is that easier to keep than the cow that looks like a worn tire but weaned a calf in the top 10%? [/QUOTE]
