[QUOTE="Blonde d'Aquitaine, post: 1068865, member: 21252"] I do not know about which subsidies is P.A.L. speaking about. There are none in the EU! Replying your comments with statements: Average 240 d weaning weight of our Blonde d'Aquitaine calves is 602 pounds! I think that our cows make a good job. We breed our heifers when they reach 18 months. In feed efficiency Blondes are unbeatable: 5.3-6.5 pounds of feed per pound of gain. Our cows are hardy foragers. And they produce the best carcasses for the German market: 20 months old bull, 1340 pounds, warm carcass weight: 845 pounds, net beef: 667 pounds. I repeat that I am speaking about German marketing conditions that doesn't pay bonus for fatty carcasses. Moderate marbling is ever welcome. But not excessive cover fat that the consumer dismisses. Speaking about size, we do not have that big pastures like in the USA. Although we think that less and more productive cows per acre means less management, less bulls, less calvings, less vaccinations, less cullings,. Consequently productions' conditions are not easy to compare. It would be also very wrong to make following statement based on P.A.L.'s way of thinking: It would be more productive to breed South African Boer goats than that small cows... Nice Sunday to you all from Germany! [/QUOTE]
