[QUOTE="polledbull, post: 1113537, member: 574"] absolutly , it seems that now no one wants a calf to weigh over 70 lbs , and that is coming back to haunt people. I understand that some people have day jobs and want to not have to worry about thier cows having a live calf while they are away , and they also want to use the same bull on cows and hiefers , but they are giving up alot of growth and weaning weight when you compare a 65 lb BW versus a 90lb BW come weaning time in my opinion. percentage wise it is to much weight to make up in that amount of time . I dont want any 65 lb calves born on my place except on heifers . I will take a 85-90 lb calf everyday on a 3 time calver [/QUOTE]
