[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 1026449, member: 694"] Brute I have already answered this it take's 30 pound's of forage for a dry cow the protien and fat content decide if she keep's condition. You can fill her up with straw doesn't mean she will hold condition. Wet cow's vary greatly on keeping conditon the hard keeper can require up to 20% more of the same good quality forage to keep condition. She is a cull. You are looking for the cow that can maintain condition on the least amount of forage and put pound's on the calf. Same as if you have a cow that wean's a calf 10% or more below the herd average is a cull. She might be rolling fat and is not working to raise the calf. You have to look at the whole picture and constantly evaluate the herd. [/QUOTE]
