[QUOTE="dun, post: 313612, member: 34"] Unless she was AIed or the bull was actaully sen breeding her, the 39 days is an educated SWAG. The dairymans eye and the beef producers eye for condition are distinctly different. A small amount of fat in the brisket is fine. If you're in a very cold climate you might want a little more fat. Over feeding concentrates can cause the calf in the third period to get larger then expected. Generally you have to be pounding a pretty good quantity of concentrates to them to get to tthe point where it's a problem. How much is a "little grain", a half pound, 3, etc.? Depending on the breed composition, 840 as a yealring weight is just right or kind of light. dun [/QUOTE]
