[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 625997, member: 968"] And I'm not saying I don't have or never have had a thin cow (although I don't believe I have ever had one that thin). And you can expect a cow to be thin if in fact she was carrying twins, or more so, if she was nursing twins. But, if you look back at the pictures, ALL the cattle that you can see are extremely thin. And, if I had a cow that was even a bit thinner than normal healthy condition, I would not post a picture for the world to see. Sooo, in my opinion (IMO) this producer cannot SEE the difference, therefore I was trying to point out they needed to learn how to read BCS to better manage their herd. And Knersie is dead on. You watch the BCS of your herd and you adapt neccesary action to keep them in good condition if you expect them to breed, calve a healthy calf & wean a good WW. Keeping good BCS MAKES you money not COSTS you money. IMHO [/QUOTE]
