[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1098065, member: 20580"] Good question, depending on when you weigh cows opinions of what "ideal" weights could vary. We run our cows across the scale the same day we run the calves across it at weaning. It's a good way to see how that cow has held up over the summer while nursing. This past year was one that it was really interesting to compare the weights as we have had 2 drought years in a row now that have been hard on the cattle and some of the cows were close to 100# less at weaning this year than they were after the first year of going through a drought. Having to compensate by feeding more corn to help them regain some condition before calving. [/QUOTE]
