[QUOTE="OK Jeanne, post: 470172, member: 3333"] ------------------------- Here's some stats from our spring 07 group: #18 heifer, 65 lbs, weaned at 605, ADG 2.39 #24heifer, 64 lbs, weaned at 606 lbs, ADG 2.52 #17heifer, 66 lbs, weaned at 508 lbs, adg 2.21 lbs #22 heifer, 75 lbs weaned at 536 lbls, adg 2.47 lbs bull LZ, 75 lbs, weaned at 544 lbs, adg 2.48 lbs bull BB, 68 lbs, weaned 529 lbs, adg 2.41 lbs bull 13B, 65 lbs, weaned 504, adg 2.80 lbs bull 5B, 70 lbs, weaned 550 , adg 2.57 We had weaning dates several weeks apart. For our particular herd, we are aiming for small birthweights, fast growth and early maturity. We like our cows to be a frame 4 or less and the bulls not more than a 5. Our basic goals are the same as expressed by lead_dog. We did have a good forage year, unlike 06 grazing season. Forecast to get another rain this coming Sunday and hopefully it will come through. Regarding Murray Greys in Georgia - there was a herd in Huntsville, owned by David Green and Phyllis Clark. Name of Green Acres Farms. That was back in the mid-90s and I don't know if they still have the breed or have sold out. The vet mentioned above bought some animals from Sylvia Schiff in Arkansas - she is a member of MGIA: [url=http://www.murraygrey.org]http://www.murraygrey.org[/url]. [/QUOTE]
