[QUOTE="Cdcollett, post: 1510097, member: 30837"] I guess I’m in the south. Southern Idaho. I get that the too early too small calves are a bad deal but you have to stop somewhere. I cut any bull calf born over 95 lbs and I prefer them to have birth weights between 70 and 85 lbs. Those calves usually do better than the big 100 plus calves early on & in a month you wouldn’t know the difference so why add risk? The flip side of that risk is going too extreme on calving ease because those calves don’t all catch up from being born in the 50’s so again, why add the risk? Pick a target and stay there. [/QUOTE]
