[QUOTE="dun, post: 207950, member: 34"] You're in Canada, he's in MS. A 75 lb calf in Canada would probably be a 65 lb or maybe even smaller calf in his area. There is also the diference in forage base that enters into the equation. You really can;t realistically compare weights between the 2 areas. More important then raising birth weights is improving weaning weights. As I've said before and no doubt will say again, challenge your cows to wean a heavy calf not have a heavy calf. With proper bull selection you lose very lattle if any between a lighter and heavier birthweight when it comes to weaning or yearlings weights, daughters calving abilitys, carcass grade, etc. dun [/QUOTE]
