[QUOTE="True Grit Farms, post: 1396365, member: 24694"] There's no doubt that the low birthweight market is where the money's at in bull sales. And lower birthweight heifers sell better if they carry good condition. So wouldn't a person be wise to feed low value 9%-10% hay the last trimester and no feed or high value pasture of any kind? I have a few specialty sales on my list for next season calves and trying to figure out the best and most profitable way to market my animals. I'm sure I'm not the first one to think about this management style. To me it beats lying or fudging on the actual weight of the calves, which I know happens on a consistent basis. Just fishing for a few different ideas. Thanks [/QUOTE]
