[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 615763, member: 4353"] In the case of calves there is an economic importance associated with exactly when this metamorphosis happens. If it happens before weaning then great, but if it only happens after weaning you really have to ask yourself if you can afford to have sorry weanlings that will only start to bloom later when on feed. That is usually a very good indication that the cow isn't doing her duty and as anyone who had tried to improve milk knows, the heifer will very seldom milk much better than her dam, their may be an improvement, but drastic improvements would not be the norm. I sell the vast majority of my calves at weaning and so do my bull customers, if weanling calves out of my bulls are sorry or if replacement heifers raised out of my bulls wean sorry calves I won't be in the bullselling business for too long. Very little point in making the feedlot happy when the bank manager is unhappy. [/QUOTE]
