[QUOTE="dyates, post: 667040, member: 7137"] I tend to agree with you except for I think high percentage weaning weights are the culprit rather than the size of the cow. I don't care if a cow weighs 900 pounds or 1500 pounds as long as she weans off somewhere between 47% and 50%. As Jo says, she also has to do it with out any supplements other than mineral. As I said on another topic once before, I haven't been able to figure out how folks are successfully selling 700+ pound calves out of 1200 pound cows. I would love to do it if I could figure out how to do so without going broke at the feed mill. I also believe, on average, that high weaning weights equal high milk production equals a shorter productive cow life. [/QUOTE]
