[QUOTE="Buck Randall, post: 1597893, member: 38590"] Most cow/calf producers are going to be using a product like Ralgro or Synovex C on calves prior to weaning. They're small, cheap, and are completely spent within a couple of months. You're looking at around a dollar or two for the implant and probably weaning calves 10-20 pounds heavier, from what I've seen. Not a huge difference that you'll see with your eyes, but something that adds up, especially if you have a lot of calves to sell. If you keep calves and background them on grass, there are a bunch of implants designed for that with a payout of 3-6 months. Look for something with "G" or "Grass" in the name. [/QUOTE]
