[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 436955, member: 2095"] IF you get load bars mounted underneath your chute, you can collect weights on your cows when you deworm and give the lepto, vibrio booster prebreeding in the spring with NO extra work; though the breed associations (for some reason) prefer weights collected post weaning. IF you wean on the trailer, the stockyard weights you get on your statement are sufficient. Just match the ear tag with lot number and record. Keeper heifers and stockers you generally want to run through the chute for deworming and shots, so if you have ANY kind of scale in your alley collecting weights then aren't too difficult. Birth weights are a different story. It takes a lot of dedication to actually go out in the pickup, catch a day old calf, drive him up to the barn for a quick measurement then drive him back to his freaked out mama. [/QUOTE]
