[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1590414, member: 24565"] I guess for our situation, the mother's milk and spring to summer forage is a good as it will get. WW and WH are good data because folks sell most calves here at weaning or shortly after. Once they wean and go to pastures for development they have to endure the summer slump and go on stockpiled fescue. I seldom see YH match FSs to the WH; Usually a half FS or more lower on the FS for the YH. Maybe the cows catch back up by 4 to 5YO but ideal size is big enough to raise a calf to excite an order buyer and not too big to eat too many groceries and all including her to breed back on time. Cows that do so are FS 4.5 to 6 and can range too low at 1050 and can be too big over 1450. Somewhat of a commercial view. [/QUOTE]
