[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 442158, member: 968"] randiliana's figures shouldn't be surprising. BW is HIGHLY correlated to WW. That's a given! But, the trick is to find those "outlying" bulls that give you lower BW & higher WW. As far as the correlation between 100# calves & opens - I would think they were dystocia cases and you were unaware of it. Cows can end up having a live calf after struggling for many hours. Dystocia definately can affect breed-back. Also, your cows may not be able to handle the demand on her nutritionally. I would say it was more a management issue than a # of pounds. If you don't have cows that can handle 100# calves, you can see many problems. [/QUOTE]
