[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14955"] Jim, As a cow/calf operator, you should always let your grass and condition of the cow, dictate the weaning time of the calf. If your cow is in good shape, and she has adequate nutrition, she won't need but 60 days or so before her next birth. The cost of weight gain of your calf should be much less than the price in which you sell it for. This may only be $10-$20/hd more than you would get for selling at a lighter weight. But like the little old lady who tinkled in the ocean, every little bit helps. > Totally ignorant here. At what > age/weight are most steers > (especially angus) when they're > sold at the auction?
