[QUOTE="Karin, post: 997123, member: 18961"] No. I was saying that you can't expect the same feed source being fed is always going to meet a cow's nutritional needs all the time. Yes you can allow a cow to lose weight, but not so much that it is detrimental to the cow's health and/or the calf's welfare. Of course, we've seen some crappy thin-looking cows raise some great-looking calves... BCS of 8 is a little too fat for a cow anyway--BCS of 5 or 6 is ideal for a cow regardless what nutritional plane she's in. [/QUOTE]
