[QUOTE="simme, post: 1699949, member: 40418"] I think [B]both [/B]when you are talking 1000 pounds weaning weights. There are a few that achieve that through genetics, nutrition, management, maybe black magic and who knows what. Then there are the hopeful people who want to achieve the same - hoping for the same level of "success". Most of the hopeful never achieve the same level probably. May be like the lottery. A very few win the lottery. Millions have the same hope for success there, spend lots of money hoping for that success and never hit the jackpot. Follow the science. To get 1000 pound weaning weights, inputs and efficiency come into play. Inputs are quantity and quality of milk and grazing and feedstuffs. Efficiency is how well the animal converts that into pounds of live weight. Better efficiency is good. The input side of the equation is where you have to be careful. Achieve 1000 pound weaning weights with low inputs, high fertility and longevity and you will have achieved success. [/QUOTE]
