[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 479530, member: 1604"] Are you figuring in death losses? Sickness/gain loss? I would assume that older calves might be less susceptible to disease and such that might effect mortality rates and efficiencies. If I remember right, I thought I read that the growth curve for beef calves was at its highest at about 500 lbs. because the rumen capabilities have not been able to physically develop and reach its efficiency peak any earlier. Just a few thoughts............................ [/QUOTE]
