[QUOTE="ClinchValley86, post: 1662335, member: 38595"] Will have a say, I felt out weights were low last year at weaning. Cows were in tip top shape. Calves were in good condition. But appeared smaller. I dont have scales though. I will have to say, from what im observing with our small herd, the larger/longer legged animals do lose condition quicker. I much prefer my 1100 to 1300 lb cows. We brought in a moderate bull this time. Sold the 5 year old in November, it weighed 2200. Hoping this guy tops out around 18 or 1900. We calve around January to February. Just keep good hay out and they do well. Debating pulling the bull til June/July though. Gotta get a spot to out him though. Greg doesn't pull bulls does he? Ive left bull in since 2016, went from Feb March calves to early January calves. Thr mild winter has been nice though. And moving cattle around and made limited amounts of mud thankfully. Calves coming into a world without mud is making me so happy. [/QUOTE]
