[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 625824, member: 968"] I totally agree that size of bellie does not tell me anything - BCS is the biggest factor in relation to her contemporaries. I am amazed that noone has mentioned that your cattle are terribly THIN. I would NEVER post a pic of an animal that thin. You need to learn how to BCS (Body Condition Score) your cattle. It is very useful in management of a herd. [url=http://www.ext.vt.edu/pubs/beef/400-795/photos1-9.html]http://www.ext.vt.edu/pubs/beef/400-795/photos1-9.html[/url] Cattle should be in a BCS of at least 5 - heifers should be 6.5 - I think yours are about a 3.5 - 4?? Someone else got an opinion? [/QUOTE]
