[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 605860, member: 7645"] It is pretty standard too periodically body condition score our cows to see how well they are doing on their feed and forage. 1 is just about dead and 9 is just about so overfed and obese that they waddle around. Here is more information: [url=http://www.angus.org/performance/Documents/body_condition_score_article.pdf]http://www.angus.org/performance/Docume ... rticle.pdf[/url] IF you are going to keep the cows, you need to get the calves off of the cows; because at this point they don't have any body fat reserves left to put into the milk. ANY improvement in nutrition will just leave them in the milk (why some of us are scared of cows with really really high milk EPDs or cows with a dairy influence). IF they stop producing milk their nutritional needs will decrease and hopefully they can start putting weight back on. [/QUOTE]
