[QUOTE="Muletrack, post: 1662194, member: 30827"] I always like to hear what the Canadians are doing because we have a lot more in common with Manitoba than Missouri. Here in North Dakota the high energy cost is what concerns me about our 1500 lb. cows. Also the high replacement costs when cows don't breed back. I can't see going to a thousand pound cow, but it's getting almost impossible to find animals under 1500 lbs. I'm looking for easy keepers, and take note of the cows that work best for me -- and those aren't often the tall ones. The most important thing for profit is a live calf (which is why I calve in the late summer -- my last calf born this year was Oct. 9, and I start around the second week of August). This year I'm going to cut the breeding season down to 45 days, and hope eventually to make it 30. [/QUOTE]
