[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1782095, member: 32659"] Along with what shaz says. In this area (the OP and I are obviously close together) 500-550 is the typical weaning weight. I know these calves were under that but for whatever reason we just don't wean as big a calves as the guys more to the North. I attribute it to the really hot dry summer weather. We also tend to take a little longer to grow calves out and I believe that is due to our whacky winters. I've bought some cows from farther North thinking that would help but they just don't get acclimated like you'd think. I believe region plays a bigger role in your cattle operation that some might think. [/QUOTE]
