[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 804972, member: 2653"] Jeanne! You just connected some dots through my thick skull. With my small test on my herd I found that heifers were weaning around 50 pounds less. Using your scenario, the heifer will indeed milk better as she gets older, so 50 pounds may be as good or better (depending upon the cow and breed) than the herd average. Now that's some good info. As always I know you can't just equate this across the board especially with different breeds; but the same premise is there. Makes perfect sense. [/QUOTE]
