[QUOTE="AllForage, post: 1041318, member: 14878"] Just re-read your explanation of cow weight. Myself and probably most here have cows from 900-1350 and have not pulled a calf in years. (bull selection!) Capacity on a cow is not a function of just her liveweight. It is her structure. That is what is missing from your criteria. Guts is written here often and is misunderstood. Guts can be very wasteful and inefficient (think of a jersey cow on pasture). One can have capacity but not be gutty and wasteful. I have seen this transformation with my Anxieties. My cows that I would call gutty often have the lowest hanging weights in their calves. The major benefit from marketing meat is following a cows calves to hanging weights. It makes one look at things differently. [/QUOTE]
