[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1427055, member: 24027"] Excellent post, Farmer Jan! We have a lot of similarities in our operations :). I have a few cows that would draw down when they were young to the point I would give them extra cubes but they also raised some of the biggest calves and seem to grow out of it. Only have one cow who still gets a little too thin but she's 10, can't weigh more than 1400 lbs and last year her calf (steer) weighed 790 when we sold him at 9 months. Bebe, who's now 7 & also 1400 lbs, raised a bull calf (kept intact) that weighed 820 lbs at 7 months when we sold him. We have never pulled a calf off earlier than 5-6 months unless the cow has a health issue & needed to be sold. Inbreeding happens, quite often in spite of your best efforts. [/QUOTE]
