[QUOTE="BFE, post: 1662118, member: 28532"] OCC's stated theory is that the 500-600# weaning weight is the sweet spot for cow calf efficiency. Much bigger and your cow probably needs added inputs. Around here, that's also the sweet spot for price/# vs. weight. 600# and up start getting less price/# quickly, so not much incentive for me to sell that heavier calf. In other words, I'll make more selling 10000# worth of 5 weights than 10000# of 7 weights. If that means I can run even 10% more smaller efficient cows I'm ahead. There is something to be said about the smaller end of moderate, but I still don't have much faith in the 900 pound cow. I think the regenerative movement is legit. Gabe Brown is the messiah in the movement as far as I can see, he incorporates everything into his program. [/QUOTE]
