I have been mostly buying or retaining smaller more feminine wf heifers so my average cow size is dropping fast. The two biggest cows I still have are 8 year old limi crosses that weigh about 1400# and wean a very average calf. They like to eat more than they like to milk and so they are fat all year round. Average disposition. I figure they eat about $130 more feed per year than a 1100# animal. I am tempted to load them out with the char crosses.
What else would you include to compare the profitability of large proven cows like this to a younger 1100# cow?
