[QUOTE="novaman, post: 746868, member: 2744"] I shoot for a BCS of 5-6 at calving. Most, if not all, shouldn't lose more than 1 point of condition post-calving. If they do lose more than a point of condition they are going to have problems getting bred back on time and should be put in the category of hard-keeper regardless of how nice a calf she raises. I've run a couple Holstein crosses in the beef herd and they will kick out some nice looking calves but they sure can't keep any condition on and end up open after no more than a couple years.
