[QUOTE="GoWyo, post: 1834205, member: 38220"] She provided that information a couple months ago in response to a question I had. Have to find that thread. But the gist was that they do not do much with steaks, so marbling is not a criteria that pays under the European system. She gets paid a premium to produce the kind of cattle she does and we get paid premiums to produce a different type of beef animal. It's all good. I range calve in March in sometimes bad conditions and want calves that are born without problems and up nursing in 15 minutes. My bull customers want the same thing. That is usually going to be a 75-90 lb calf from a 1300-1500 lb cow. Heifer calves should wean off around 550-600, steers 575-625 and bulls 650-750 at 7 months on our summer pasture conditions. That seems to be the sweet spot given our pasture conditions, a goal of grazing 9-10 months of the year and feeding 1 ton of hay per cow. Lithuanian Farmer has a whole different environment and market system that is interesting and I am glad she posts on here because I enjoy seeing how her cattle work for her with the different market incentives she has.
