[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 145194, member: 2653"] Brush hog girl (I love that name), Whenever I have a cow drop to a BCS of 4 or lower, I seperate them, worm them, and put them in the best pasture that I have. But timing is everything. How skiny is she? While I want all of my cows BCS 5 or higher, if one or two drops to a 4, it's not that big of a deal (a 3, in my opinion, would be a big problem). I only really worry about them a few months before they calve, and the 90 days thereafter, so that she rebreeds quickly. Some cows will be more skiny than others (I call them culls). If a cow is a BCS 6 when she calves, she can get settled quickly, and then coast a little on her reserves. [/QUOTE]
