[QUOTE="robert, post: 804785, member: 9171"] adjustment factors in many ways over correct the adj weaning wt of heifers / younger cows compared to mature cows, I think the angus adj factor for 2, 3 & 4 yo is 90, 50 and 20lbs. On actual weights I figure the average heifers calf bw will be about 7 to 12lbs less than the mature cows and this will translate to 40 to 80lbs lighter average 205d wts. The cows who really get kicked in the ass on adj factors is the older cows of 10+ who only get a 20lb adjustment whether they're 10 or 15 or 20yo, this in my way of thinking does as much to push down the epd's of the older cows and keeps the push on for younger, outcross breeding methods. Sorry for the rambling..... [/QUOTE]
