[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1692497, member: 25884"] I don't care how fat the cows are in the fall..... I want them to be in good body condition in June and July so they are feeding the calf, and coming in to heat. If they are fat in the fall, then the calf had better be fat too.... if they are not milking enough then the calf will not have the growth and I agree then they are not milking enough. Since some of my black ones have some dairy in them, they milk all the fat off their back and can get too thin.... One good thing if they breed back before they get to milking too much too long.... they will hold the fetus most times, just get thinner, and then as soon as I pull the calf, they will usually start to gain but it takes awhile to get to where I want them to be. I agree that if they are fat and the calf is just average, then they are not milking enough....but I prefer them a little on the fat side.... maybe because I see how it pulls the dairy x ones down . But that is just me.... and I do get what you are saying [USER=9096]@Nesikep[/USER] . [/QUOTE]
