[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 1071745, member: 3162"] Some cows are simply easy keepers. I've got a Gelbvieh cow and a char/brahma cross cow that are fat year round. A few of the brangus maintain themselves well. Others go up and down, especially while nursing older calves. Do the best you can do for the cows. Worm them and give them nutrition. Don't fret too much about the rest. Your goal is to produce marketable calves. If a cow is making money, producing nice calves, it aint so much important how purty she is. If I have to put feed in her or if she is high maintenance in any other way, she is starting to suck profit out of the herd. A nurse cow with several calves on her will get feed. Not the others.
