[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 645510, member: 968"] In quality herds, a 753# adj weaning weight is quite normal WITHOUT any creep feed to the calves or grain to the cows - just grass and hay and mineral. Granted, you won't get a 1313 adj YW without grain. But, good, bad or indifferent - a grain fed 1313# bull will bring more $$$ 99% of the time over a 900# (or most likely less #'s) grass fed bull. "Most" grass fed herds (meaning grass finishing herds - all cow/calf herds should be grass fed herds) have smaller frame type cattle to fit your program and may find it almost impossible to achieve a 700+# weaning weight on mom's milk & grass.
