[QUOTE="plumber_greg, post: 957413, member: 9115"] Dun is right. We are all susposed to be raising cattle for future slaughter. If you have a super effecient cow raising 60% of her body weight, but only weighs 900lbs., you really aren't raising a very good calf for the slaughter market most of the time. All the grids have a carcass weight range. Be sure your calves will fit on it, wether you pass the problem on to someone else or not. Try and make sure your end product isn't a roly poly fat, grade 4, low dressing 1200lb., animal. If that is what you got, you ain't got much. gs [/QUOTE]
