[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 6103"] To add to what Dun said...percent calf weaned per cow exposed is 10 times more important to profitability than anything else for the cow/calf producer. Next most important to profitability is getting that done at a low cost. Here is something for you 'heavier weaning weight is more profitable' group...I've seen it proven with actual sell prices that the extra weight of going from a 450 lb. calf to a 550 lb or 650 lb calf, you are only being paid about $.35/lb for the added weight. Can you add those extra pounds for $.35/lb? Do the math! My favorite cattle saying...If profit isn't your motive for owning cattle, it really doesn't matter what you do.
