[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 360818, member: 1683"] rocket2222 - Have you studied Leachman's philosophy of today's Beef Cattle Breeding? Have you watched his "No Better Bull" program on Thursday nights? Do you understand his "Cow Math" principles? Have you ever heard Lee's discussion seminar's, and had a chance to personally question him regarding your reservations and critcisims? Have you ever seen his cattle and observed how they function? Can you refute these facts with your own prima facie evidence? Can you endorse these scientifically and real-life proven facts? Smaller cows eat less, so you can run more of them on the same feed resource. Smaller cows wean a higher percentage of their body weight. Calves out of smaller cows weigh less per head, but sell for more per pound. Smaller cows have better fertility. For these reasons, they are putting a great deal of emphasis on cow size. Their math shows that you will make $30.00 per cow per year for every 100# that you lower cow size. They feel that optimal cow size is beteen 1150 and 1350 pounds depending on your conditions. Just as an aside, I have advocated that 1250 pound cows make more money than heavier one's since I taught Agriculture in the early 1950's. But Leachman has the math and the facts to justify that assumption. If you care to discuss it with him, I am sure that he will be glad to accomodate you! None of the above is meant to obviate the fact that low weaning weights are obtained occasionally. In a group of 1350 sale animals, a less-than-desirable individual will appear once in a while. We can't ALL have perfect progeny - in spite of all our efforts. The first ten bulls in his sale, for example, averaged 726 pounds WW. And these were ALL unregistered Stabilizers, which, by the way, averaged $5325 per head - the highest bringing $8000 and the lowest bringing $3250. Pretty consistent. And not due to high pressure salesmanship. Can you do as well? If so, perhaps you two can get together and compare notes. You might both learn something!
