[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 699531, member: 1715"] We start breeding heifers at about 600 pounds and they calve at 900 to 1,000. Works well with the right bull. This means we end up with smaller than average cows. Herd average last fall was 1,156 pounds which included some larger cows that go to town this fall. It seems like my "heavy" cows usually wean average calves - - while the small cows go to both extremes. The better 1,000 pound cows may have a smaller calf at birth but they can still wean a wopper. I don't need a Lowline bull for 1,000 pound cows but I am tempted to try one on heifers. [/QUOTE]
