[QUOTE="branguscowgirl, post: 1183443, member: 19938"] Ron, I feel your frustration. My cattle and pasture are the same as what you deal with. I am slowly adding more cattle but I am picky, and will only keep or breed my best which are "easy keepers." I don't want any whispy hard keeping Brangus. My goal is to better the breed, not set it back. If I have too many out there, I would have to feed them in the winter months. I would like to avoid that, so they will just have to be fat and happy! ;-) FWIW I am really not seeing any higher birth weights than usual due to the good feed. I have had 100# calves out of these same cows living on dry pasture. With 80# calves on the lush pasture. I am thinking it is more about the bulls being used. I am beginning to understand how the EPD's on them can be very deceiving. [/QUOTE]
