[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1178516, member: 12607"] As it turned out this time, dams of all but one of the steers are daughters of the current walking Angus sire(537), so pretty standard background behind 'em on the dam's side. Lightest of the Orion steers was out of an N Bar Prime Time D806 daughter - D806 has lower WW epd than the 537 bull - but this calf also had a difficult delivery(leg back), dam developed metritis and mastitis early on... so he did well to perform as well as he did - still, 642# is pretty good here. No, have not weighed cows to compare % of body weight weaned. One cow produced twins (69# heifer, 92# bull) and weaned 1093 # of calf; she weighed 1480, back in Dec, 2 months before calving. [/QUOTE]
