[QUOTE="highgrit, post: 1237853, member: 14198"] Inyati and Nesikep threads got me thinking about high birth weights. I can't see where a high birth weight is worth the risk. And what's it really matter as long as you end up with a 500 lb calf at weaning. Average Prices in Georgia last week for steers number 1's. You can find this info by Google, Georgia cattleprices. Avg wt. Avg price. Total value 464. 300. 1392.00 512. 279. 1428.48 721. 209. 1470.84 766. 194. 1486.04 High birth weights and weaning weights don't equal the reward for the risks involved. IMO I'm not working for the feed and AI companies. Please tell me what I'm missing? [/QUOTE]
