[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 542029, member: 7645"] It depends on your cows. If you have moderate framed British or "American" cows, you can come in with a large framed, heavy muscled exotic and get a substantial increase in weaning weight provided you have enough grass and/or other groceries for the calves to grow out to their potential. I think a lot of cow-calf folks would be shocked at what their existing cows could do with better pastures and a well thought out mineral program. You use a terminal sire to bump up the weaning weights (and even some of the very growthiest Angus sires qualify as terminal to me) don't keep the heifers or you will lose carrying capacity. [/QUOTE]
