[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 1026635, member: 694"] I look at my resident girl's as a group BCS of the cow Weaning weight of the calf. Forage is equal here as I am a grass farmer first. They have to perform on my grass hay and mineral's. That said you have to have a good balanced feeding program, protein,fat, fiber and digestabilty to fairly evaluate your worker's.. If they can't I am not changing the feeding program for a cow, I am getting a better cow. Let me see if I can explain it where it makes sense. I am looking for the cow that maintain's a 6-7 BCS and wean's with the average of here group on the same forage. If a cow slip's into the 4-5 range she might be raising a great calf but she is going to cost more to get back in condition and most likely have a shorter productive life. If the cow start's moving to 8 she is not working for the calf and we are moving toward's rebreeding problem's. [/QUOTE]
