[QUOTE="Double A, post: 419579, member: 6818"] Ok, there are several important ones! I'm one for weights. The reason being is that in order to get the weight, a live calf was delivered (hitting on calving and fertility). Typically if our cows don't wean a calf, they don't stay and right now we all still sell (not sale :D ) them by the pound. We track which cows are producing and which aren't producing as well (and will ratio/% that with cow weight). We will send them to town if they aren't producing as well as the others and hopefully replace them with one that will. Yes, I love spreadsheets and could probably be said to have a "nerd herd" - we engineer our cattle matings to try and produce the best outcomes and track all kinds of data (some probably useless), but weights are important to us. Temperament is also a "biggie". [/QUOTE]
