[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 5445"] To do the job right you still need to weigh your calves. Educated eyeball will work for newborns (SWAG), but at weaning and older you need to weight those calves to see what cows are doing there jobs the best, what bulls worked in your environment and managment. Granted 20 or 30 lbs at weaning, if you sell at weaning, isn't much, but it is additional income. I just read a report that claims that cows weighing 25 percent more require 18% more feed. The interesting part was that higher milking cows not only require more feed then lesser milkers, but the feed must be of higher quality or she'll take it off her back and may suffer in reproduction capabilities. dun [/QUOTE]
