[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 507197, member: 1258"] You're right about bulls Caustic. I'm not knocking Charolais but when we got Red Angus bulls we started having smaller more energetic calves (good for cold) and lost a lot less. Again lower fall weights but when you total in the losses you make a lot more profit. Besides at 120 pounds it was getting too tough to drag 140 pound Charolais calves to the house to warm up. ;-) You've got that many more vultures this year than last? :shock: We just had the cold snap -68 F (with windchill) is not the greatest for calving. Lost one that was born at night even though we were checking every two hours. It's always depressing to lose one at the beginning of the season. Not as bad as losing one when you've got 100% and are done though. :mad: [/QUOTE]
