[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 928933, member: 4353"] The crux lies with small efficient cows for your environment bred to a terminal bull and sell ALL of the offspring. The terminal calf won't be as fat as a less growthy calf out of your cows, but that is exactly what the buyers want, a big growthy green calf and they are usually prepared to pay a premium for that. Add to that the extra lbs weaned and I cannot see why you won't make a decent return per acre. But in essence I agree, its not for everyone or for all situations, I don't even do it myself. [/QUOTE]
