[QUOTE="Lee VanRoss, post: 1708359, member: 40072"] I am thinking that the management is just as or more important than the color or breed of the cow assuming a selection of quality within the breed. For instance building a calving barn so you can feel better about calving early will not compute financially when compared to calving when grass is available. The weaning weight of a dead calf leaves much to be desired and the mother will most likely move to the negative column for the remainder of the time you own her. Now all of the above can be thrown out the window if you can latch on to those 700# cows weaning 500# calves in six months. Good luck with that! [/QUOTE]
