[QUOTE="kenny thomas, post: 1798757, member: 8993"] With a big push for calving ease for several years have some really cost themselves lots of money by getting much smaller weaning weights. As i was rotating pasture today i notices a calf from a cow i bought last summer. Its a month old and wont weigh 80 lb. It will never be much. We see Lithuanian farmer with calves born usassisted weighing 120lb. Im not going to try for that but have many gone to far the other other way? If in a herd of 20 cows you loose 50 lb per calf weighing weight is it better to loose a big calf occasionally and gain in the end? [/QUOTE]
