[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1167280, member: 9267"] You're tired Taurus? Or using a translator program? This started out as a really interesting thread. I almost wish we could have another on old style Simmentals without the derailment. Keeping high heifer numbers is a good cover-up for a lot of issues. Not poking at anyone really. I usually try to rear 20% for replacements but some years it's 30 - 35% (like this year). It's a good opportunity to clear out the problem cows or slower breeders, hoping that the youngsters are an improvement. Around 80% weaning rate sounds to me like significant room for improvement. Don't know what you all usually get, 90% of cows mated the previous season sounds to me like a better target, that would be 95% in calf and allows 5% losses; is that feasible? [/QUOTE]
