[QUOTE="Sir Loin, post: 398039, member: 5601"] We, Re: As I said previously, birth of a calf itself increases your herd size. The rule of thumb is every 1,000 lbs of calf equals 1 more cow. So if you had 100 calves born and when they reach 500 lbs each you have increased your herd size by 50 cows. So in theory, if you could determine that a particular piece of land would sustain 100 cows, you must only stock it with around 65 cows to allow for the calves that will soon be born. (you do the math I used SWAG) Now what if 65 calves won’t pay the rent, what do you do? I creep feed the calves and run the original 100 cows which maintains and improves the land. SL [/QUOTE]
