[QUOTE="RD-Sam, post: 576190, member: 7927"] Frankie, the way I am seeing this is that milk is calculated by the calf weight, so the milk number reflects how much milk the cow had available, which also reflects how much nutrition the cow had available. If I am wrong, somebody please correct me? The $EN is what it cost to keep the cow, positive number meaning it cost less. The EN number is calculated by the milk, I guess cause they figure a cow with a high milk number will take more to feed, thus cost more to keep, and have a lower EN number. Also I believe the frame score is used in the $EN value, the larger frame costing more to feed, thus a lower $EN number. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I am new at this? :dunce: [/QUOTE]
