[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1798857, member: 14585"] Good question. But do you gain in total pounds weaned per cow exposed when death loss increases? Hog producers would answer No. The number of live pigs weaned per sow is their most profitable economic indicator. That's why white pigs are so popular in commercial production. It takes better record keeping than what most beef producers do to arrive at the correct answer as to the point of diminishing returns. In my opinion to increase profit cow/calf producers should focus on total pounds weaned per cow exposed. Actual record keeping is the key to answer the question, unfortunately most use speculation or go by the seat of their pants. [/QUOTE]
