[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1743238, member: 6291"] If I remember the article correctly they compared no implants, implanta at birth, and receiving two implants. Yes, there was a slight gain from birth to weaning. Yes, it did pay for for the implant but unless you were on a massive scale it was not enough to justify for some one selling straight off the cow or unless you a buyer paying a premium knowing you had implanted it. The highest gains were from calves that received 2 implants, one early on and one at weaning. When you combined the slight gain from birth to weaning and the much larger gain from weaning on, a person could easily justify the two. I forgot the details of when they gave the first one and how long you had to hold the calf after weaning. For some reason I didn't think it was all that long. I think it was trying to say if you were backgrounding your own calves it would pay for both. [/QUOTE]
