[QUOTE="hillbilly, post: 158250, member: 373"] Our cows frame went from a 5 to a 7 in two generations. There weight went from 1100-1300 to 1500-1700. Hay consumtion went from 3.5 to 5.7 bales per winter. I should have known better but I kept replacements from High ww & yw big framed bulls. boo boo. Cattle annie needs big cows hillbillys don't. We were putting more and more fertilizer on a still running short on grass during our annual drought. We were selling average 60 more pounds of calf per cow but to continue needed to reduce our herd.... We sold them all and who ever bought them I'm sure is happy with them. Earlier in this thread was a notable sugestion. If you want to wean more pounds put a bull on your medium framed cows for that purpose...but I would add this, don't keep replacements on those years. hillbilly [/QUOTE]
