[QUOTE="Cross-7, post: 1303233, member: 24538"] I saw that on FB yesterday. Milk production is a double edge sword in arid area's from my experience. Too much milk and the cows really get pulled down. Too little milk and the calves just don't do well. The comparison between the low milking vs high milking. I'd like to have seen the difference in weaning weight. Depending on the year you can cake the cows (moderate milking) to help them out or even wean a little early and grow the calves off the cow. Being in an arid environment is tough. It takes lots of acres and the less the cows see each other the better, but in a wetter environment with large amounts of high moisture forage the bigger high milking cows would be better suited IMO [/QUOTE]
