[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 573024, member: 7645"] I don't see why we are guessing or DNA testing. Buy a scale. At weaning run both the cows and the calves across the scale. Adjust the weaning weights and body condition score the cows. Divide the calves weights by their dams weights to get the efficiency numbers. Cull the least efficient cows, the open cows, and those with poor BCScores. Keep the heifers from the most efficient cows who bred back quick and maintain their condition. Repeat next year, the year after that, the year after that, etc on and on until the end of time....... If you end up with big framy cows....that's ok. If you end up with moderate framed cows......that's good too. [/QUOTE]
