[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1261954, member: 498"] If people would have read the comments that OT wrote you would notice that he wrote, "and when the old cows are brought in from summer pasture they go back with them- and are wintered with them thru the winter... Learn to rustle and survive right from the start... And I've found a heifer on the gain breeds up better then some of the fat ones wintered in the feedlots...' That is roughed through the winter in Northeast Montana. How many have spent time in that part of the world in the winter. I would be surprised if a heifer came through the winter up there all nice and fat. He also said that he would know 10 years from now how they worked out. He said he took a few picture so some of the heifers. I am certain he has a lot more heifers than what there are pictures of. He didn't say this was the top end. I have been raising 60 replacement heifers a year. No matter how you try there is always one that is ugly. And if you sell her another one becomes the ugly one. Lets be realistic looking at a few heifer in May is not the entire picture of his breeding program. That 406 heifer might turn out to be a great cow. On the other hand she might grow a set of wheels real soon. Time will tell. I competed against OT in college rodeos way too many years ago. He has been running the ranch ever since so this is a long ways from his first set of replacement heifers. I imagine he knows a little bit about what kind of cattle work in his environment. [/QUOTE]
