[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 784109, member: 7509"] I am sorry but I do not see the logic to necessarily deducting 240 lb from an 1100 lb cow's weight, even in the hypothetical BCS 8 cow. Is this saying that she is overly fat and her real weight at say a BCS 5 would be 860 lb? And if she was this BCS 5 and 860 lb she would still 205 day wean a 660 lb (77% of that 860 lb) calf? I question whether that is the case. An 860 lb mature Hereford cow is pretty unusual I would think. And even if one did exist I doubt she would wean a 660 lb calf without creep. I don't mean to beat this topic any more but I just question the value of that 77% number. It seems to me that there is almost no way that any healthy productive cow can wean a 77% calf no matter whether her condition is 5, 6, 7 or 8. Putting a percent to it makes it seem like that is a real number rather than a relative number. Jim [/QUOTE]
