[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1204857, member: 22072"] Your point is they better and if not they are gone, you'll be culling a lot of really good productive cows. As a commercial rancher, i dont want to push my heifers to the limit. You'll lose too many calves if you have this attitude. Since we've been buying lbw angus bulls and making sure our heifers get bred to one, our pulling issues are almost 0 with the first calf and then on down the line when bred to the mainstream bulls. A heifer is only going to grow depending on the amount of milk she makes. Doesnt matter if she starts out with a dink or a clunk....push your heifers with a hard birth and a calf that starts out needing more than she can provide, you may not get a calf the next year...
