[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 287672, member: 2308"] We get around that by weighing the calves before they go to the sale. We can rent an electronic scale for $25 and weigh them. After doing this you realize just how much of a difference there is between the 6 calves ;-). I have various spreadsheets, the Ranch Manager program, and, I also keep a record for each cow (on paper). It has her info, BW, WW, ADG on her mama, and who her dam and sire were. It also has info about every calf that she has had. Birthdate, BW, sex, assist, sire, Weigh date, WW, ADG and comments. That way I can see what she is doing as the years pass by. Very useful as you can tell which cows are consistent, and which aren't, and which ones are doing their job. [/QUOTE]
