[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 1388064, member: 6543"] that is more milk than I want....My ambition is to have cows graze as many days a year as possible and to wean a decent percentage of their body weight at weaning.... I spent some time chasing growth and milk and ended up with huge cows who looked like hell in a fescue envrionment....their sons did well at test and the cows maintained fertility but their calf weaning percentage was nothing to brag about...Oh I could get 600 to 700 lb weanling bulls but out of 1500 and 1600 lb cows... I have a little Whiteridge Vindicator 2nd calf heifer now that is at least 8 to 10 inches shorter than her mother and probably 500 lbs lighter and she is raising just as nice a calf as her mother...actually better as the mother had a set of small twins this year... For the last two years I have bred my cows to Wye Bulls...Faxton last year and Alap this year...Just got the Wye news letter yesterday and they have some young bulls that are sons of the great old bulls that I am anxious to try....Have a Faxton heifer that will get registered....And I have not registered anythin in three or four years....
