[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1502008, member: 22295"] WB we are commercial breedes and I like to buy bulls with an actual BW in the mid 80's. I feel to many especially Angus and Herefords has chased the low BW too far. The bull I purchased recently many said the problem was his actual BW was 85 lbs. I feel that is one reason we got him bought so reasonably. On mature cows his BW don't worry me and I don't pay any attention to CE or MCE. If a mature cow can't have a 90 lb or even a 95 lb calf I need to cull her anyway. I do like to shoot for a calf in the mid to upper 80's on mature cows. The low BW calves in the end cost us too much when we sell. Most will never catch the bigger calf that has good growth to him. At least this has been our experience. [/QUOTE]
