[QUOTE="bball, post: 1290324, member: 23752"] I track lb/day for each calf, but the number most important to me is dollars per day. I divide the calfs total sale price by the number of days until sold. Makes it very easy to figure out your best producers. Once I have these numbers, I can compare all the cows and I factor this into the cull criteria. Most important to me is being bred back in timely fashion. Open cow moves right to front of trailer. What I consistently find is my larger framed cattle typically do not raise the heavier or highest $/day calfs. I have one scrubby cow that I got for a steal a few years ago. Been looking for any reason to cull her cause she looks like crap. She is sweet as sugar, great udder, breeds back on time, calfs easy and raises one of the top calfs numbers wise. Dollars don't lie. So as much as I would like to send her, the math won't let me. [/QUOTE]
