[QUOTE="greenwillowhereford II, post: 541914, member: 7439"] Rocket, I applaud the cow's condition, and that was a decent sized calf, especially considering the forage and feed conditions. However, I've got 1,100-1,400# cows that consistently give me calves with weaning weights of 500-700#, including the drought two years ago, when the lightest 205 was 550#. So if we can find those cows that do weigh in the so-called sweet spot range, and still produce calves that wean 500-700#, while holding their condition, isn't that the best of all scenarios? I mean no disrespect for that stout looking cow at all, and I feel you've got some very good genetics and cattle, don't take this wrong, just stirring the pot a bit. [/QUOTE]
