[QUOTE="smnherf, post: 704873, member: 3235"] I agree with NR, weaning weight is a very poor indicator of profitability. Weaning weight alone tells me very little. Now combine it with the cow weight and then it begins to mean something. A 500 lb calf from an 1800 lb cow certainly isn't were I want to be nor is a 400 lb calf from a 1300 lb cow. Now show me a noncreep fed calf weighing 520 lbs @ 165 days old nursing a 1140 lb cow and that gets my attention. Jim, it is possibile to do just that. It will take an early maturing type animal but certainly not at all impossible. Brian [/QUOTE]
