[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 136062, member: 968"] If you don't adjust to 205 (or any fixed number of days within your herd) you can NEVER truly compare cows performance - unless you have about a 2 week calving season. :shock: I shoot for 45 days but always end up closer to 60 days, and I would not want to be analyzing my cows performance by size of calf at weaning using scale weights. There can EASILY be 200# difference between first & last born (many times more - this year there was 225# between 2nd heifer born & last heifer born - 67 days) Generally my HEIFERS calf about the first two weeks than I start my cows. This 2nd calf born was out of a COW that I slipped into the chute & bred (sooooo hard to pass them up when they're standing!) :D [/QUOTE]
