[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 368632, member: 2095"] This is awfully unscientific but I body condition scored your cows on a 1-9 scale like this..... 3 4 4 4 3 5.8 (I don't know what the story is on this cow but she looks like she is eating better than everybody else combined) 3 I know the pictures were taken in January and I know that conditions in Texas were not particularly pleasant last year; but your cows are a LITTLE on the lean side. Ideally more of the cows could be in as good a condition as that fat #6 cow and less of them as lean as that #7 cow. IF the cows were being pushed hard by their environment, I would be hesitant to add too much frame and growthiness to the mix unless I could also figure out how to increase the available grass. It looks a little woody; maybe if you got in there with a dozer and thinned some of the brush you might increase the available grass some. [/QUOTE]
