[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1625014, member: 24027"] Too much! Or at least they used to be. Was not uncommon to have 1800+ with Steamroller topping the chart at 2300, 8 months bred (per our vet - couldn't even work her in the chute). I've culled most of our oldest cows but still have probably 10 in the 1600-1800 range and they're primarily the Angus/Hereford. Played around with the CED's of my bulls and finally decided +11 on my heifers is a good balance of ease, weight & growth and +7 on the cows results in avg. 80 lb calves, great growth and is reflected in the heifers I retain but doesn't result in the aforementioned scale busters.
