[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 704822, member: 7645"] NO what he is saying is that a cow doesn't reach her "mature weight" until she is 4 or 5 years old. By the time you wait for the cows to be "too big" you will already have bred their daughters and the youngest half of the herd will need more nutrition for maintenance than you want too spend. Rather than pushing weaning weights up until it costs you money, ideally you go out and find genetics with BOTH acceptable weaning weights and mature weights. It is "PROBABLY" impossible to raise weaning weights every year too infinity without negatively affecting cow mature weights......The Lord knows enough people are trying though. [/QUOTE]
