[QUOTE="cattle_gal, post: 57233, member: 643"] I watched some of a sale on RFD today and watched some bred heifers go through that weighed about 1140(I think). And they were shelly looking (lots of surface area). Talking about how much feed a cow get through the winter. For 200 days the average would be about 2.78 ton here at the ranch. Down where they are now at 5,300 feet they get about 2.5 ton for that period of time. If all was being straight hay. Cows lbs average 1250 lbs. I've got a hand full that are Salers. I sold a dry fat one this Oct and she weighed a whopping 1700 lbs. Yikes!!!. CKC, His articles are in the American Chi Journal and the ACA Commerical journal each time they come out. [/QUOTE]
