[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1239387, member: 14585"] Excellent point Rafter, allow me to explain. First the numbers are not mine they are the current numbers from the American Angus Association $W and WW. $W = Weaned Calf Value Weaned Calf Value is determined by factoring in both the revenue and the increased production costs. (NET VALUE) Just using WW is misleading because it fails to account for the added production costs associated with increased production. 40 lbs certainly is worth a lot more in GROSS Dollars but we all understand the bottom line and NET profit is what matters. Choosing good breeding stock is important because genetic progress is slow and it takes a great amount of time to produced 3 generations. BUT expectations need to be kept realistic and not to fall for Blue Sky, used car, Bull Salesmen creating unreasonable expectations and offering quick fixes by throwing more money at their bull.
