[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 839265, member: 7509"] while I have had cattle for only about 5 years now I do see where Brandon's post above jives with what I see so far. Keeping a uniform condition on cows and weaning at about 205 days consistently with consistent hay/forage, mineral and water just has to help extend cow longevity. They also breed back easily and produce a good calf every year. I also agree with Steve in that I am about done buying bred heifers. Seems like that's about like going to a casino and I am not a gambler. Better the devil you know. U070 and his predecessor T021 seem to have made some good home grown heifers and cows from cows I know something about. The ornery, large, poor milking or open ones have been culled. Jim [/QUOTE]
