[QUOTE="mtnman, post: 82470, member: 836"] Just once, I'd like to meet the guy that had honest 1000-1100 pound cows and raised 700 pound calves in teh 70's. Just once. I'd like to find one. I dang near did once. Those 1100 pound cows were actually about 1195, and the 600 pound calves were actually 595, still dang good, but not at all truthful. Honestly, I usually see this as 1000-1100 pound cows and 600 pound calves, so 700 is an even bigger stretch. Anyway, this guy is now outdated, since the AAA has now come up with a $En value to better reflect cow costs, although a simple energy value is probably more accurate, like what the Red Angus folks do. mtnman [/QUOTE]
