[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 441863, member: 2308"] We run about a 7%-8% open rate. I have not seen any connection between higher 100+ lb BW and open cows. Even twins here don't usually cause open cows. Our average BW is usually in the 92-94 lb range, year in and year out. I certainly have no intention of pushing it up to 100 lbs, but if a cow has a 100+ lb calf I don't have a problem with it. I won't deny that we pull the occaisonal calf, but it is not a common occurance either. We have the odd cow that will consistantly pop out 115+ lb calves, and then breed back on time every year. As long as she is calving on her own, and having healthy calves I won't cull her. [/QUOTE]
