[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 609723, member: 2653"] Willow, how big are your cows? 1300 to 1400? Everyone has to manage their own operation, but a 1400 pound cow compared to a 1000 pound cow is 40% bigger. That means 40% more food/forage needs. Is that calf that she has going to wean 40% more in weight? For me, the ideal cow weight is 900 - 1100, hence the reason I prefer lower birth weights. It's not so much about the "race" to see who's going to catch who - it's about if I'm going to make a profit or not. [/QUOTE]
